Instructions
- If using fresh noodles: In a pot, bring 5-6 cups of water to a boil and cook the noodles for 2 minutes. Drain the water and set it aside.

Notes
Notes
- If you are using dry pancit canton noodles (flour stick noodles), you need to cook them in liquid. For 16 ounces of dry noodles, start by adding 1-2 cups of water. The dry noodles will absorb the liquid while cooking. Be sure to keep an eye while cooking. Add more liquid when needed.
- Be sure not to overcook the seafood so they don't turn rubbery and dry. I just stir-fry them for a minute then add my colorful vegetables next.
- Stir-fry the vegetables in high heat and don't cook them for too long to avoid them from turning soggy. When you cook them in high heat for a short time, they will retain their texture, color, and nutrients.
- You can add fish balls and kikiam to substitute the seafood or add both to make this dish extra special.
