Steemit Iron Chef 2018 Act 01 Round 02 : Vegetable Noodles or Pancit Canton

Hello Lovely Steemians:

It is my first time to join "*the steemit-ironchef competition", and today i would like to share my noodle recipe with the wonderful cabbage, carrot peas and capsicum.

Cabbage - is delicious, it may not be popular to some dishes but it has a mild taste, versatile and easy to cook. you can add it soup or just simply saute it and or make it a salad.

This is a Vegetable noodle

In the Philippines, we called it Pancit canton. There are lots of variations to cook noodles, but this way works best for me.

Ingredients:

cabbage (as much as you want, chopped in small strips)
red capsicum
snow peas
carrots, julliene
oyster sauce (3 tbspn)
soy sauce (1 tbspn)
noodle (250 gm)
water (1 - 2 cups)

---

Preparations:

• Blanch or boil the vegetables for 5 minutes

• Saute garlic and onion

• Add in the blanched/boiled vegetable, and saute it for few minutes

• Add in the water (I used rice water or the first rinse for added flavor).

• Add in the oyster sauce and the soy sauce. let it stand for few minutes.

• Add the noodles

• Let it boil and simmer until the noodles are thoroughly cook, about 10 - 15 minutes

• Add a dash of salt and pepper according to your taste

(for my husband @mr-neil)

and voila, a delicious noodles.

(and this is for me) :-)

This dish has a sweet to a bit salty taste. In the Philippines, there is always a noodles (Pancit) in every celebration. It is part of our culture and it symbolize long life due to the long strands. It is already a main meal, They usually add meat or shrimp on it but i just opt to vegetable only. The oyster sauce made it mildly sweeter in taste and the soy sauce made a bit salty.

You can also add a little lemon or lime juice to your noodle to for an added zingy taste, and to balance the flavor.
In the Philippines, a lime or lemon to a noodle is a must, It just simply not complete without a lemon/lime, perhaps to counter act the sweet/salty flavor.
