Vegetarian Pancit Canton Recipe

Vegetarian Pancit Canton might look like the Pancit Canton. However, this recipe is quite different because it does not use any meat; instead, I used Shiitake mushroom.

 Tips in Cooking Vegetarian Pancit

Preparing this Pancit Canton Variation is simple and faster. A few minutes are what we need because there is no meat to tenderize. The taste that the shiitake mushroom brings compliments the dish and makes it more enjoyable to eat.

You can start by stir-frying the vegetables. I chose this method because it is quicker and less tedious compared to blanching. Once the veggies are cooked, set it aside and wait until the noodles are cooked. Cooking the flour noodles should be very quick. Make sure that the Shiitake mushroom is cooked to a degree that the maximum flavors are extracted. Also, make sure that the liquid is not too much because this will make the noodles mushy.

I recommend this pancit recipe to all the vegetarians out there, but you do not need to be one in order to enjoy this dish.

Instructions

• Combine dried mushrooms and warm water in a bowl. Soak until mushroom softens. Slice mushrooms. Save aside the water for later.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pot. Stir-fry snap peas, cabbage, and carrot for 1 ½ minutes. Remove and set aside.
• On the same pot, add remaining oil. Saute onion, garlic, and celery until onion softens.
