For the noodle mix
- 250 g 1 pack of dried pancit canton noodles
- 1 tablespoon oil just your usual, nothing fancy like extra-virgin

- 0.5 onion chopped
- 1 cup shredded chicken or pork ideal for using leftovers
- 0.5 cup mixed veggies carrots, cabbage, bell pepper, or any available vegetables
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce optional, but enhances flavor
- Salt and pepper to taste
For baking
- Muffin tin and paper liners
Instructions
Prepare the noodles
- Cook the pancit canton noodles according to package directions, but reduce the cooking time by a minute or so to ensure they don’t become mushy. Drain and shake off excess water.
- In a pan, heat oil and sauté garlic and onions until fragrant. Add your choice of meat and cook until browned. Then add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for a few minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
- Mix in the drained noodles, soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Use tongs or forks to combine thoroughly, adjusting salt and pepper to taste.
Fill muffin cups
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place paper liners in the muffin tin.
- Using a fork or tongs, distribute the noodle mixture into the muffin liners, pressing gently to hold the shape without compacting too tightly. Top with additional vegetables if desired.
Bake and serve
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until slightly crispy and golden at the edges.
- Remove from the oven, let cool briefly, and serve warm or at room temperature. Ideal for parties or as a snack.
Notes
These cups can be made vegetarian by omitting meat and adding extra veggies or tofu. They freeze well; just reheat in the oven before serving. For a fun twist, try different toppings or sauces like sweet chili sauce.
