One thing that's probably better than good old instant pancit canton is stir-fried pancit canton. I had one once at a free taste stand in the supermarket; I can't remember the brand but I do remember liking the way they stir-fried the noodles in hot oil until they became crisp (almost crunchy).
I tried making my own version at home and came up with something pretty good :p

| Easy-cook |
- 1 or 2 packs of instant pancit canton (I used Payless Shanghai in Oriental, but you can use any brand, preferably with flat noodles)
- Sesame Oil for stir-frying
Directions:
Cook noodles according to package directions, then drain thoroughly and set aside.
Some instant noodles come with dehydrated vegetable or meat bits that you're supposed to cook along with the noodles - for this instance, soak them separately in hot water til tender, drain then set aside.
Mix pancit canton seasoning in a small bowl and add a little water to make a 'sauce'. Set this aside too.
Heat sesame oil in a wok, then add in noodles and vegetable/meat bits and stir-fry until texture is crisp and oil is almost gone. Turn off the heat, drizzle the sauce and toss to coat the noodles, then remove from heat, and eat! :D
*once you mix in the sauce don't leave it in the heat for too long, otherwise the noodles will get tough and the sauce will dry out.
