Discover Sotanghon Canton Guisado: Two Textures, One Pan
In Asian culture, noodles are emblematic of “long life,” which may explain their prominence at celebrations and gatherings in the Philippines.

Ingredients
- 250 grams thinly sliced pork belly
- One (230g) pack of Pancit canton noodles
- One (250g) pack of dried vermicelli Sotanghon noodles
- Half Napa cabbage, thinly sliced
- One cup Baguio beans (green beans), trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- Two red bell peppers, thinly sliced
- Two carrots, julienned (thinly cut into matchsticks)
- One onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- One tbsp freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- One cup of water
- ¼ cup cooking oil
- One teaspoon all-purpose seasoning (or to taste)
Cooking Instructions
- To prepare a delicious Filipino noodle dish, start by preheating a pan on the stove. Once heated, add pork belly that has been cut into bite-sized pieces, spreading the meat evenly across the pan.
- Cover the pan to ensure even cooking, and allow the pork to cook until it reaches a golden brown color. Once cooked, transfer the pork to a bowl or pot for later use.
- In the same pan, add chopped onions and sauté for about half a minute. Following this, introduce minced garlic and allow the mixture to cook together until fragrant.
- Next, add green beans (commonly known as Baguio beans) to the pan, stirring well, and let them sit undisturbed for approximately 20 seconds. After this, incorporate sliced carrots and mix for 30 seconds, allowing them to sit for another 20 seconds before adding napa cabbage.
- Season the vegetables with 1 teaspoon of all-purpose seasoning, 1 teaspoon of coarse black pepper, and ¼ cup of soy sauce.
- Toss all the vegetables until thoroughly mixed, then promptly remove them from the pan to prevent overcooking. Reserve a small amount of the mixture in the pan for the next step.
- Next, pour 2 cups of water into the pan and add both Pancit canton (egg noodles) and vermicelli glass noodles. Include a broth cube or bouillon, stirring well to combine. Allow the mixture to come to a boil until the noodles are fully cooked, which will also lead to a reduction of the liquid.
- Once the noodles are cooked, return the previously sautéed vegetables to the pan and mix thoroughly.
- Additionally, add red bell pepper and the cooked pork, using two spatulas to combine all ingredients well.
