I was recently introduced to Filipino cooking. It is a fusion of Chinese, European, American, Arab and Asian cuisines, rich in flavor and color. Adobo Chicken is probably the most well known and another favorite is Pansit Bihon. I haven't seen Pansit Canton on CES, so here it is. It may have quite a few ingredients, but it's not complicated to create. Pansit (noodles) are commonly served at birthday celebrations and represent long life and good health; they must not be cut short so as not to corrupt the symbolism.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces pansit Canton noodles (flour noodles or flour sticks)
  • 1 chicken breast, cooked and shredded
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 pound pork, sliced in small pieces
  • 1/2 pound shrimps, shelled and deveined
  • 4 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup Chinese sausages, sliced
  • 1/2 head cauliflower, cut to bit size
  • 2 cups snow peas
  • 2 cups cabbage, sliced into strips
  • 1 cup celery, sliced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1/4 cup scallions, diced
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
