Let's cook vegetable noodles for today. I will be using a chinese noodle, also called pancit canton in the Philippines. You can serve this delicious dish as a snack or have it as a main meal. But usually, this is served during special occasions like birthday celebrations. The noodles, with it’s long strands, symbolizes longevity and prosperity.
It consists of varied vegetables. These vegetables are blanched or boiled/steamed for a minute to retain their texture, color and to prevent them from overcooking. The chicken stock will definitely add flavor but no worries if you don’t have, you can always use water.

Next, submerge the noodles and stir well. Cook until the water has reduced.
