Instructions

8 cooking steps

  1. Combine the shrimp with garlic powder, a sprinkle of salt, and ground black pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Heat a wok and pour in 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, pan-fry the shrimp for 1 minute on each side until they’re cooked through. Remove the shrimp and place them on a clean plate. Set aside.
  3. Add the remaining cooking oil to the wok. When the oil is hot, stir-fry the bell peppers and onion for about 2 minutes.
  4. Add the bok choy and Napa cabbage to the wok and continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes. Remove the veggies from the wok and set them aside on a plate.
  5. In the same wok, pour in the chicken broth and add the oyster sauce. Stir and bring it to a boil. Add the Pancit Canton noodles and let them absorb the liquid, tossing every minute so all the noodles get the same amount of flavor.
  6. Once the noodles have absorbed all the chicken broth, add the stir-fried veggies back into the wok. Toss everything together and cook for 2 minutes.
  7. Stir in the cooked shrimp and mix well. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, adding more salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Transfer the Shrimp Pancit Canton to a serving plate. Enjoy with a side of calamansi and a nice cold drink. Share and savor every delicious bite!
