Pancit Canton Guisado

I was inspired with the noodles I had last week from my favorite Chinese restaurant. On how they serve it saucy and sauce, veggies and meat topping the noodles. I want it more Filipino so I used pancit canton instead of egg noodles. It turned out really good. I think the trick to it is the minced ginger and sesame oil. You could also add other vegetables desired. Give it try.
