How To Make Pancit Canton (Filipino Noodle Dish)

I grew up watching my mama make this pancit canton for us more than a hundred times. As you see she has five children and think about how many birthdays she had to cook this food. I really love the tempting smell of pancit canton as we gather together in the kitchen while we waited and drooled as my mama made the dish. Now that I am a mom myself, I also make this delicious food at home for my kids. My husband have asked me how I learned the recipe since I had made it without reading a recipe book. He told me that I must have watched my mom so well that I can memorize the ingredients by heart. It is wonderful to know that someone has appreciated the dish that I make. I am going to share with you this recipe and I hope you will try it and like it yourself.
