Pancit Canton, one of the popular Filipino noodle dishes, uses a kind of
dried egg noodles called Canton, that is made from wheat flour and coconut oil.
It has an distinct taste and aroma brought about by the coconut oil, that makes it distinguishable from any other yellow egg noodles found in the market.
The cooking process that I use is almost the same as that of the Pancit Bihon Guisado.
The only difference is that I don't soak or drizzle hot water on the Canton before cooking them. They tend to lose their deep yellow color and the water washes off some of the starches and the distinct canton flavor.
