Expert Tips

1. Use fresh noodles: Fresh egg noodles (if available) give the best texture and absorb the aroma better compared to dried noodles.
2. Balance the Sauce: Adjust the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and fish sauce to balance the perfect balance with the spirit.
3. Properly prepared protein: Meat is pressed individually before adding it to maintain sensitivity and prevent digital miners.
4. Avoid digested noodles: Cook until tender. Too-cooked noodles will become soaked and lose their texture.
5. Improve the flavor with soup: Instead of water, always use chicken soup for a rich and delicious sauce.
6. Personalize your fillings: add quail eggs, crisp pork, or Chinese sausage for more depth and authenticity.
7. Serve immediately: Pancit Canton is better appreciated fresh and warm. If left sitting too long, the noodles may absorb too much sauce and become mushy.
8. Make It Spicy: Add chili flakes or chopped siling labuyo (bird’s eye chili) for a spicy kick.
9. Try different proteins. Try squid, beef, and tofu for different varieties.
10. Squeeze Fresh Calamansi or Lemon Before Serving: It enhances aroma and balances rich cuisine.
