Mock Pancit Canton Stir-fry is a delicious way to turn instant ramen noodles into a hearty and tasty meal. Chock full of shrimp, chicken, and veggies, it's an easy weeknight dinner the whole family will love!
Instant ramen noodles are a staple in my pantry. I love how I can quickly turn a packet or two into a full soup or stir-fry meal using whatever scraps of meat, seafood, or veggies I have in the fridge.
Not only is its ingredient list flexible, but it's fast and easy to make. It's ready to enjoy in under 30 minutes!
I cooked the ramen a la pancit canton in this recipe, adding chicken, Chinese sausage, shrimp, broccoli, and carrots. Check out the list below of other proteins and vegetables you might like.
Ingredients for pancit
- cabbage
- sliced pork belly
- chicken livers
- crispy fried tofu
- snow peas
- bok choy
- beef sirloin strips
- fish or squid balls
- celery
- kikiam
- hard-boiled or fried eggs
- fried garlic bits
Lucky Me instant pancit canton also works well in this recipe, but my preferred brand is Indomie instant noodles which you can find at Walmart, Target, and most Asian supermarkets or online. It's specifically for stir-frying and has a better texture.
Use the included seasoning packet or the spicy sauce below to kick up flavors. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients and toss with the noodles.
Dragon noodles spicy sauce
- Two tablespoons water,
- Two tablespoons Srichacha
- Two tablespoons soy sauce
- Two tablespoons brown sugar
Helpful tips
- Do not overboil the noodles; precook them a minute or two shy of the package's suggested time, as they will continue to cook when stir-fried with the rest of the ingredients.
- The cooking process is quick, so have your ingredients prepped and ready to go.
- Cut ingredients into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
- Use a wok or a wide pan with high sides for easy and less messy stir-frying.

Oh my! am so sorry to hear about the accident Ms. Lalaine. Hope you are feeling better now. This recipe looks delish, I will definitely make this as soon as I restocked our pantry with Lucky Me Instant Canton. Or maybe just use regular canton noodles? Anyway, I love your sister site, as I've visited it couple of times. The mini cherry cheesecakes were a bomb, I will make it again soon! Will be checking your other blog regularly from now on.
