Noodle Caboodle

For the first time in my life, I cooked noodles. Not just any noodle dish, the target was a high aim at Pancit Canton. No, thankfully not the instant type. But the real one that took me almost an hour to cook.

But before I go into the details of the attempt, a joke which my husband proudly delivered on our way to a shoot a few days ago:

A priest, after saying prayers for the man on death row, asked what he wanted for his last meal.
The man said, "Pansit po father."
Then the priest asked, "Why would you want noodles? You can opt to have steak or crabs or shrimp or something more unforgettable?"
The man replied, "My mother once told me that if you eat pansit, you will have a longer life."

Laugh inserted here. Anyway, I had my husband and our masseuse be my food critics. And I got a thumbs up, yey!

PANSIT CANTON
-400g pansit canton (I used Good Life, bought from SM Save More)
-3 pcs chicken thigh fillet
-4 c chicken broth
-4 tbsp olive oil
-1 red onion
-2 tbsp garlic
-2 c snow peas
-1 carrot diced
-6 tbsp soy sauce
-1 tbsp sesame oil
-salt and pepper
-4 tbsp cornstarch
-2 c water

1 Put in oil, then garlic, then onion.
2 Toss in the chicken, half of the chicken broth, all the veggies. Simmer for 10 mins.
3 Put in the other half of the broth then the noodles. Mix up until noodles go soft on you.
4 Add cornstarch if you want the sauce to be sauce-y. Add in the sesame oil. Salt and pepper to taste. Yum!

I think liver and a bit of pork would be nice with the dish and some cauliflower if you have some.
