Traditonal Pancit canton is a dish that signifies long life, can give you luck and at the same time protect you against coronary heart diseases when sauteed in olive oil. Like I mentioned in the previous Pata Tim recipe, Olive oils contain unsaturated fat that are less oxidized compared to regular cooking oil. Oxidized cholesterol from cooking oil sticks to artery walls and form plaques that often lead to heart attacks and strokes.
Whenever I make Pancit canton, I don ‘t have any standardized measurements. Good thing that I attended a cooking session with Dona Elena and they showed how cooking with olive oil is healthier. Here is the Pancit canton recipe:

4 tablespoons Dona Elena Pure Olive Oil
