Pancit Chami

Pancit Chami is a signature dish of Lucena City in Quezon province. It is made from miki noodles which is a type of fresh egg noodles you will encounter usually in the wet market or supermarket. It is also used in making lomi. The taste and success of your cooking this dish is the freshness of the miki noodles so be sure it is fresh and not sitting in the shelf for a long time. But you can also use pancit canton noodles or dried egg noodles. This noodle dish is composed of miki noodles, pork, chicken, liver, shrimp, vegetables and flavorings or condiments. If you ask me, I think this is very similar to pancit canton but the flavor is what makes the difference because it is sweet and spicy. Our noodle dishes has Chinese influence and this pancit chami is no exception. Actually the word “Cha” means to stir fry and the word “Mi” is noodles in Chinese. But I heard some people say that the word “chami” must be derived from the word “Chow Mien” which I think is also possible.
