Cooking Pancit Canton With Sotanghon
First off, I am not a cook but I am beginning to love it!
As the quarantine continues, people are asked to stay at home and strictly not allowed to go outside because of the threat of Corona Virus. The department of health ( DOH ) in the Philippines always reminded people to eat healthy foods and drink vitamins to enhance and boost their immune system. Since the lockdown is very strict, sometimes you do not have any choice of food to eat.
This morning, I decided to cook something for myself which was my first time... and I am sharing here now on how I cooked it with pictures and its step by step process.
To be honest, I am not a cook, I prefer to eat better than cooking. I was one time watching my mom how it´s done and I realized it´s quite easy to make. One simply needs to prepare the ingredients beforehand and you´ll be halfway done.
Pancit canton is a Filipino dish of Chinese origin which combines yellow wheat noodles and a variety of meat, seafood, and vegetables, blended with a flavorful mixture of soy and oyster sauce.
