Pansit a la Majah

Pansit is a Filipino-Chinese dish that is widely known for its symbolic representation for "long life". This means that if you wish someone to have a long life, better serve Pansit (with uncut noodles) on his birthday. Hahaha! For Majah's case, she planned to cook pasta on her mom and grandma's birthday bash but since Iya (her grandma) requested for Pansit, Majah ended up cooking this traditional dish.

INGREDIENTS:

Bihon noodles
Canton noodles
cabbages (cut into strips)
carrots (cut into strips)
chicken (shredded)
chicken stock
chicken liver (optional)
soy sauce
salt
garlic
onions


COOKING PROCEDURE:
Sautee garlic and onions. Add chicken and liver. Add soy sauce. Sautee for a couple of minutes to let the chicken absorb the mixture. Add chicken stock (amount of stock depends on the amount of noodles you are going to cook). Keep in mind that bihon noodles need more water than canton noodles. Add more soy sauce and salt to taste. Drop bihon noodles first. Use fork to spread the noodles if necessary. Once cooked, drop the canton noodles. Wait until bihon noodles are cooked then add cabbages and carrots. Do not overcook the vegetables. Best served with calamansi on the side.
