Pancit (Filipino Noodle Dish)

This is one of my favorite dish, can never get enough of this! Please don't ask me for amounts to use of each ingredient cause this is one of those dishes that you learn with practice. This is also one of those dishes that I can't make in small batches, I don't know how to. I learned how to make this in batches like this or larger when my dad made it for family get together or parties, and when I try to make it in smaller batches it just doesn't work for me, hahahaha. My wife says I need to learn my fractions again LOL.

This is a package of Chinese sausage, we usually find it at an Asian store.	This is what the Chinese sausage looks like
Cut up the chinese sausage	We used side pork or pork belly for our pancit
Cut the pork into slices...	then cut the slices...
Peel and cut your carrots. We cut it a little fancy this time but we usually don't.	Peel and clean shrimp. You don't have to get really large shrimp since they will be cut up anyways, we used size 25-31.
Cut up the shrimp	We use a wok for cooking but you can use a regular pot. Brown the pork then add the onions.
When the onions have sweated a bit, mix them with the pork then add the garlic.	When the garlic has browned, mix then add the Chinese sausage
Mix in the Chinese sausage then add the shrimp	When the shrimp has turned pick mix with the rest of the ingredients then add salt, pepper, oyster sauce and soy sauce.
This is a package of Achuete (annatto) powder	Next add annatto powder, for color and flavor
Add the carrots...	Add chopped cabbage...
Mix all the ingredients together...	Add broth, you can use chicken, beef or vegetable broth, I used chicken here. It's what we had available.
Bring to a boil. Taste the liquid for season, add seasoning as necessary	We use two kinds of noodles for our pancit. This is Bihon noodle or rice noodles.
This is Pancit Canton noodles or flour noodle (yellow color). We use the Excellent brand for our pancit. We've used it for years and it's always had the best results but there are other brands available.	We recommend that you place a fourth to half of the liquid in a sauce pan and put in low heat in another burner to keep it warm. This will ensure that you don't have too much liquid and can add the liquid back as needed. Put in the package of rice noodles (bihon). Mix the noodles in with the ingredients. Add the liquid from the sauce pan if needed to cook the noodles.
We usually use half the package of the flour noodles (canton). Mix the flour noodles in, again adding liquid as needed. You want the noodles to be soft and not crunchy but not soggy.	Mix until both noodles and the other ingredients are evenly distributed then you're done. Ready to serve.
