Pancit Canton Chinese Style

Recipe by :  Ariel Jasa,  Mandaluyong City, Philippines

This recipe is my version of my favorite Pancit Canton Chinese Style from Maxim's restaurant, which is a cross between pancit canton and chopsuey.

Ideally, this would be perfect served on a special occasion because it has a ton of ingredients, ranging from chicken, to seafoods, vegetables and a very thick, rich sauce, which feels like eating pancit and chopsuey.

However,  you could put together any left-over uncooked meat and mild-tasting vegetables in your refrigerator,  saute them real fast and serve as dinner any day of the week.
