What do you do with the water in which you have soaked dried mushrooms? Throw it away? Don’t. It has just as much flavor as the mushrooms themselves. Just get a clean cheesecloth (katsa, or any similar fabric), fold it in half, and set over a bowl. Strain mushroom soaking water with the cloth. Use strained liquid for cooking. That’s the secret for this noodle dish.

egg noodles with pork and mushrooms

Egg noodles are available fresh or dried in several shapes and sizes–flat, fine, thin or thick. Fresh egg noodles in the Philippines are very salty and, expect when cooking pancit miki-bihon, I stay away from them. And when I do use fresh egg noodles, I omit the salt altogether.

In cooking chinese-style noodle dishes, one of the most popular choices is pancit canton, the kind that is wrapped in cellophane. While pancit canton is good for certain recipes, other varieties are better choices for other kinds of dishes. Pancit canton is oily and tends to get soggy when reheated. Try using other varieties of egg noodles. The “straight” ones (much like italian spaghetti and fetuccini but shorter) do not contain much salt or oil; adjusting seasonings is more under your control. I used flat egg noodles for this dish.

    Hello Ms Connie,

    Just want to ask when should I add the mushroom in this recipe? Or is the mushroom already included in the soaking water and soy sauce? Sorry I don’t know if it’s just me, but it seems like the mushroom was missed out from the recipe
