Pancit Canton is a noodle dish that is of Chinese origin. This is prepared pretty much like the Pancit Bihon, though an obvious distinction would be the noodles used (rice sticks vs. flour sticks). This dish closely resembles the Chow Mein but preparation and some ingredients vary.
As mentioned in the video, there are several ways to cook Pancit (or Pansit). This recipe shows another approach in preparing the second staple dish of the Philippines. By the way, please don’t forget your calamansi (or lemon). Pancit tastes better when calamansi is squeezed over it before eating.
Preparing Pancit Canton is not complicated. In fact, you can easily do it just by following our step by step recipe. You can even watch our cooking video on how to cook pancit canton to be sure of what you are doing.
It is best to serve pancit canton during special occasions such as birthday parties and fiestas. This is often consumed for lunch but will also make a good afternoon snack. Aside from the ingredients indicated below, you may use other ingredients such as chicken balls and squid balls.

Hi, I’m gayleen and I have 3 picky boys. We live in Canada but my kids never get off from their Filipino taste bud. I’m a novice when it comes to cooking but when I “accidentally” saw your cooking videos via youtube, I started using the recipes to plan a week meals ahead and it did helped me a lot in my budget, no more wasted veggies and too long stocked meat/poultry because of unplanned meals, moreover, my kids were happier with each new food I’m serving them and I’m starting to feel like a pro! :). Thank you so much for sharing your cooking skill, its very wonderful and very helpful. Keep up the good work and I look forward for many exciting delicious recipe. God bless!

Rachel says
hello, i want to know if i can omit the oyster sauce. is the oyster sauce the ingredient that makes the pancit taste like the pancit canton at max’s? thanks.
Jo says
Hello,
Yesterday I made my first pansit canton with your recipe but the noodles werea little bit sticky. Should I have used more broth than what the recipe asked for? Even though it turned out that way my siblings and their families still liked it.
bamz says
regarding the flour stick, can I use the egg noodle? that product of goodlife? we dont have available noodles na ganyan dito…
Panlasang Pinoy says
bamz, is that similar to the one used to make beef mami? In my opinion, it is fine to use it if thats the closest that you’ve got.
