Ingredients

Scale
  • Pancit canton noodles (fresh or dried wheat egg noodles)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (can substitute with peanut or canola oil)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup green beans, sliced diagonally (optional)
  • 8 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 8 oz pork shoulder or tenderloin, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) chicken broth or water
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Calamansi juice or lemon juice, optional

Instructions

  1. Prep all ingredients first: slice pork thinly, peel and devein shrimp, julienne carrots, shred cabbage, slice green beans, mince garlic, and thinly slice onions.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add pork slices and cook until just browned, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2 minutes. Remove pork and shrimp from the wok and set aside.
  4. In the same wok, add more oil if needed. Sauté minced garlic and sliced onions until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add carrots, cabbage, and green beans. Stir-fry until just tender but still crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. In a small bowl, combine light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and chicken broth. Stir well.
  7. Add pancit canton noodles to the wok, pour in the sauce mixture, and toss continuously to coat the noodles evenly. Cook for about 5 minutes until noodles are tender but not mushy.
  8. Return pork and shrimp to the wok. Toss everything together and season with freshly ground black pepper. Adjust saltiness if needed.
  9. Optionally, squeeze fresh calamansi or lemon juice over the noodles for a bright, tangy finish.
  10. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions or fried garlic if desired.

Notes

If noodles start sticking, add a splash more broth or oil and keep tossing. Avoid overcooking noodles to maintain chewy texture. Prep all ingredients before cooking to ensure smooth workflow. For gluten-free, use rice noodles and tamari instead of soy sauce. Vegetarian version can substitute pork and shrimp with tofu and mushrooms, and use vegetable broth.
