Pancit canton

November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ Connie

Ingredients :

175 g. of uncooked pork belly (liempo)
1/2 head of garlic
1/2 onion
3 peppercorns
1 bay leaf
1/4 k. of dried pancit canton (chinese egg noodles)
1 tbsp. of minced garlic
1 onion, halved and sliced thinly
1/2 carrot, julienned
1/4 head of cabbage, cut into 1/2″ slices
1/2 c. of sibuyas na mura (green onion leaves), cut into 2″ lengths
12 pcs. of green beans, sliced diagonally into 1″ lengths
2-1/4 c. of meat broth
2 tbsp. of soy sauce
2 tbsp. of oyster sauce
1 tbsp. of cornstarch
1 tsp. of sesame seed oil
2 tbsp. of cooking oil
salt and pepper to taste

How to :

Place the pork belly in a saucepan with 2-1/2 c. of water, 1/2 head of garlic, 1/2 onion, peppercorns, 1 tsp. of salt and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, removing scum as it rises. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Drain and cool. Strain the broth and set aside. Cut the cooked pork belly into 1/2″ thick slices.

Heat a heavy skillet or wok. Pour in the cooking oil and heat until smoking. Over hight heat, lightly fry the pork belly pieces until the edges start to brown. Add the minced garlic and sliced onion. Cook, stirring, until fragrant. Add the carrot, cabbage and green beans. Stir for a few seconds. Pour in the 2 c. of meat broth. Season with soy sauce and pepper. Disperse the cornstarch in 1/4 c. of meat broth. Stir in the oyster sauce. Add the cornstarch-oyster sauce mixture to the meat and vegetables in the skillet or wok. Bring to a soft boil and add the dried egg noodles. Stir to distribute the ingredients evenly. Lower the heat, cover and simmer for 8 minutes or until the noodles are almost cooked. The sauce would be thicker at the point and reduced significantly. The dish should still be “saucy”, not dry. Stir in the onion leaves and cook for another 30 seconds. Season with salt, if necessary. Turn off the heat, add the sesame seed oil and stir a few more times. Serve hot with kalamansi halves.

    hi how do you cook the pancit canton aristocrat style?

  2. Connie says:

    Maybe you should ask the owners of Aristocrat. :wink:

  3. jB says:

    shit that pansit is sucks:evil:

  4. Connie says:

    Yeah? Your grammar sucks 100 times more.

  5. rosey says:

    love pancit canton!…the real ones though :)

  6. Connie says:

    right, instant pancit canton doesn’t count as real pancit canton.

  7. cielito says:

    thanks for posting this recipe, mukhang masarap, i’ll cook this for meryenda later.
    napatawa ko sa sagot mo kay jB…:)

    Connie, I just want you to know that your weblog is one of the few out of millions that’s has a quality contents. (Which I’m sure you’re well aware of it.) It is sad for someone just to get ignorant and get stupid just like “jB”. This person obviously has no idea how much passion, time, and dedication to have such weblog like yours. On behalf of the many that truly appreciate your site, I just want to say thank you for your hard work and effort…

    ate connie!
    gamitin ko itong recipe mo ha? ;) i was asked to make pansit by my american co-teachers for tomorrow’s fun food friday at school. tiyak, papatok ito! thank you for sharing this!

  10. Connie says:

    joyce, there are even better versions. Here and here.

  11. joyce says:

    thank you so much! i’m going to write about this experience. anyway, i used this recipe kasi di ko na nakita ito’ng reply mo, but guess what…parang dinaanan ng Katrina ang dala ko’ng aluminum tray! only the lemon wedges were left! sobrang linamnam and they were so thankful for the treat. medyo nahirapan lang ako kasi di ko nagamit yung aluminum wok ko at nag oxidize. i live close to the beach so i guess that makes our water a bit salty compared to the other areas in the city. but just the same, it was such a hit! i told them it’s my first time to make pancit (they pronounce it as PUHN’-set) and i got the recipe from you! in fact i told them to visit this blog for other recipes ;) bless your soul! walang katapusang thank you!

  12. chunky says:

    i’ve never tried cooking any kind of local pancit, meaning canton or bihon because i thought it’s best to just buy from the authentic chinese restos..but am willing to give this a try. ang galing mo kasi mag-encourage…galing mo pa mangbara ng mga sumisingit dito…bilib talaga ako sa iyo!

  13. Connie says:

    joyce, i am so happy to read your feedback. :) next time, you might want to try the other variations.

    chunky, naku, maladas masarap gawing laruan yang mga asar na walang magawa kundi mang bwisit sa comment threads.

  19. ed says:

    hi Connie. I was looking at your improved/better version of Pancit Canton. When i tried going back to it, it was gone. If you can please repost it! thanks!

  20. grace says:

    can you suggest a good brand of pancit canton noodles that i can use?

    thanks so much!

  21. cherryblossoms says:

    i just like to ask jb if he ever know how to cook pancit canton!!!if he thinks he doesn’t like connie’s pancit canton then why not give her some suggestions to make it better???honestly speaking, i find the pancit canton in connie’s picture a little oily, so it is my choice not to put sesame oil…
    anyway, you can add shrimps …tastes good with it! (I just put it in a shallow pan, add a pinch of salt, then stir fry it…until it losses its transparency..) THEN, remove the skin and the head,then extract all the juices that you can get and add the juice and the meat while you are cooking your pancit canton…..taste yummy!!!!

  22. Connie says:

    ed, never gone. You’re just looking in the wrong place, perhaps. Click here and here.

  23. chexy says:

    ms connie, my tita did some experimentng and i did the eating part..hehehe! Guess what? Instead of frying the noodles you can actually bake them! Grabe! We were amazed by the result! No grease, no mess.:) we used the electric oven but i think the toaster will do too.. We had it in the oven for 2 mins. Then viola cooked na sya! Top with the sauce then ready to eat na.. Hmmn… Nagugu2m nanaman ako..hehehe!

  24. chexy says:

    belated nga pala po…hehehe! Mwah!

  25. Connie says:

    Wow Chexy I’d like to try that too. Thanks!
