Saucy Pancit Canton

Saucy Pancit Canton is a type of stir fried noodle dish served with prawns, pork and vegetables on a bed of thick sauce. It lies somewhere between a normal Pancit Canton and Lomi where it’s not that soup nor it’s not that dry, it contains enough sauce just to bring all of those wonderful flavours.

When I was young there was a panciteria near the place we live in that prepares pancit the saucy way, that was many years before the Saucy Mi brand came out. My mom loves buying from there and it was always matched with Lechon Manok which is bought beside that shop, it was one of our regular lazy Sunday meals. Since then I got used to it hence I was not a real fan of the dry Pancit Canton, the sauce makes it less oily and it brings so much flavour to the dish.

Today I am craving for some so I will be making the same saucy noodles that panceteria used to make.
