Who else here loves pancit canton? 🙋♀️
It's savory and saucy but sometimes it's boring.
So last Monday, I decided to add some toppings to it.
I cooked it for dinner and tried to mix it with tofu and kikiam.
Ingredients:
• 1 pack Lucky Me! Pancit Canton (120g)
• 8-9 pieces kikiam
• 3 blocks tofu
• 1 small onion
• 3-4 cloves garlic
• 1 tomato
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• Small pinch of sugar
Let's Cook!
First, I heated up a little oil in my pan and started frying the kikiam until it turned golden brown and got that slightly crispy outside. That’s my favorite part because it tastes even better when it’s a bit crunchy. Once done, I took it out and set it aside.
In the same pan, I also fried the tofu cubes. I cooked them until they were light brown and firm on the edges. Fry it first, so it doesn’t get too soft or mushy later. I set that aside too, like the kikiam.
Still using the same pan, I sautéed the garlic, onion, and tomato until they turned soft. I cooked it until it released its natural juices, which gives the whole dish a nice taste.
Then I put back the fried kikiam and tofu into the pan, poured in a little soy sauce, and added a pinch of sugar, mixed everything well until coated and tasty, then transferred them into a bowl and set them aside.
Now, into that same pan, I poured in about 1 cup of water and brought it to a boil, dropped in the pancit canton noodles, and let them cook.
While the noodles were boiling, I prepared my plate. I poured all the seasonings from the pack... the powder, the oil, and the sauce, and mixed them well.
Once the noodles were cooked, I drained them and transferred them straight onto the plate with the seasonings. I mixed everything until every strand was coated in that yummy sauce.
Then, I placed the tofu and kikiam toppings right on top! ✨🫰🏻✨
I mix everything right before eating, and it goes so well together. It was so filling and tasted absolutely awesome! 🎀🍒🎀
If you think pancit canton is boring, you definitely need to try this combo. Simple ingredients, but such a great meal. 😋
Until my next cooking...
Thanks for the visit! Have a lovely day. Buh-bye. 💗🌸
