Pinoy Select Pansit Canton

Although I have a lot of recipe books in my kitchen but sometimes following the recipe that comes with the product works just fine with me, sometimes even easier. So this time I'm going to cook a Pansit Canton. Pansit Canton is a stir-fried noodle dish common in the Philippines. I tell you Pansit Canton is a sell out during parties especially if I add shrimp balls in it. This sure will be a good entry in the Great American Seafood Cook off. I'm not a chef, very far from it but when I cook it comes from the heart that's why hubby always love when I'm the one whose cooking.

Guys this is delicious.Anyways, have you heard about the Great American Seafood Cook Off? The Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board (LSPMB) and NOAA ( National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association) present their fifth Annual Great American Seafood Cook Off on August 2-3 at the New Orleans memorial Convention Center with Louisiana Foodservice EXPO and the Gulf Coast Seafood Pavilion. This is going to be a blast. The contestants will cook a very simple domestic seafood dish to express the positiveness of domestic seafood sustainability. The seafood that they're going to use must be local and fresh. Wow this is fun. I can't wait to watch this show.
