Pancit canton
This noodle dish is popular in the Philippines.
It has Chinese roots, so it’s similar to chow mein, but one of the main differences is the type of noodles – this recipe uses wheat noodles instead of egg noodles.
Pancit is usually paired with Filipino-style spring rolls (lumpia), but it will work with anything crunchy.
Why we love this recipe: it’s authentic.

Guacamole
You can never go wrong with a bit of tasty guacamole!

Everyone has their own way of making guac, but I like mine with lots of lime juice, coriander, tomato, and red onion.
Why we love this recipe: it’s got a secret ingredient (Worcester sauce).
