Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1½ cup Chicken Broth
  • 3 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1½ tbsp Oyster Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1½ tbsp Avocado Oil
  • 1 lb Chicken Breasts all white meat; tenderized; cut into bite size
  • 8-10 Medium Shrimp I used fresh Tiger shrimp for this recipe; leave whole; devein and trim
  • 8 oz Pancit Canton Egg Noodles
  • 4 Garlic Cloves minced
  • ½ cup Yellow Onion chopped
  • ½ cup Carrot julienne/matchsticks
  • ½ cup Shiitake Mushrooms sliced lengthwise
  • ½ cup Snow Peas trim ends off
  • 1 cup Green Cabbage lengthwise; thin sliced
  • ½ cup Green Onions add the whites to the pancit and garnish with the green slices
  • Black Ground Pepper to taste
  • Lemon or calamansi; side garnish

Instructions

  • Combine the sauce ingredients of soy sauce, oyster sauce, chicken broth, and brown sugar all together. Set aside.
    Make sure your tenderized chicken breast is ready to go (how to tenderize in article). Make sure the shrimp is deveined and trimmed.
    1½ cup Chicken Broth, 3 tbsp Soy Sauce, 1½ tbsp Oyster Sauce, 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • Heat large braiser pan or wok. Add some avocado oil or neutral oil over medium-high heat.
    1½ tbsp Avocado Oil
  • Add the chicken. Begin to sear.
    1 lb Chicken Breasts
  • Then, add the minced garlic and sliced onions to the pan. Sauté until the onions become translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
    4 Garlic Cloves, ½ cup Yellow Onion
  • Cook the chicken all the way. Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Make space in pan and place the shrimp down, one by one.
    8-10 Medium Shrimp
  • Remove the chicken mix immediately as soon as the chicken is done. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Watch the shrimp, turn them around, and cook until they turn orange and opaque on both sides. Remove the shrimp and place in another small bowl.
  • Add the julienned carrot and sliced shiitake mushrooms to the pan and pour the liquid sauce mixture in. Bring to a medium simmer.
    ½ cup Carrot, ½ cup Shiitake Mushrooms
  • Place the pancit canton noodles in the sauce.
    Put the lid on.
    8 oz Pancit Canton Egg Noodles
  • After three minutes, remove the lid. Flip the noodles. Return the lid for two minutes.
  • Remove the lid completely now. Start to turn and toss the noodles. The noodles will be absorbing the broth and sauces.
  • Continue to toss and mix the noodles with the sauce until more than half the liquid has been absorbed.
    Gently and continuously toss, turn, and mix the noodles with the liquid.
    Be sure your flame is not too low and not too high. It should be just at a medium simmer. You don't want to burn off the liquid before the noodles are tender. If necessary, you can add few tablespoons of chicken broth if needed.
  • Then, add in the snow peas. Gently mix in.
    The noodles should be absorbing almost every bit of liquid, the color should change to darker yellow, the texture bouncy and very flexible.
    Taste test to be sure they are tender.
    ½ cup Snow Peas
  • Add back the chicken, onions, garlic mixture.
    Add in whites of the scallions.
    Add the green cabbage.
    Incorporate and mix with the noodles very well. Now, there should be no more liquid left in the pan and the noodles should be perfectly tender. All the ingredients should be intertwined with the noodles.
    1 cup Green Cabbage
  • Once the noodles are cooked, add pepper to taste. Remove from the heat right away.
    Do not overcook the noodles and do not overcook the veggies. They should be colorful. The noodles should be bouncy and have some bite but tender throughout.
    Black Ground Pepper
  • Place the cooked shrimp all over the top of the pancit.
  • Garnish the Pancit Canton with thin sliced green onions. Add lots of lemon wedges or calamansi on the side.
    Serve pancit canton immediately! Enjoy!
    ½ cup Green Onions, Lemon
