One would think, given how many years I've lived in this house, I'd stop
finding things in closets and cabinets. Not so! I found a big ziplock
bag of wheat noodles in a dark far corner of the pantry. (That pantry
really needs a light.) The front label and the ingredients list was cut
from the original packaging and stuck in the bag with the dried noodles.
Pancit Canton, product of the Philippines. This had to be my father's
doing. Mom wouldn't have bought something like this of her own
volition. LOL

Now what the heck will I do with them? I did some searching and found this:

No, I'm not going to rush right out and buy the ingredients, but it
sounds interesting. And it's shrimp season!

Anyone ever used these noodles? What would you do with them?

Toss 'em. Even pasta goes rancid.

I've yet to fully plumb the depths of my mom's overloaded pantry. I
spelunked one cupboard and found an ol' Vita Mix blender.

True enough. It's probably not worth attempting to use them. I'm not
much for making stir-fried anything, anyway.

How old are they? I'd do a sniff check to make sure they are not rancid
or stale before making an effort to find/make a recipe.
I have thrown away both pasta and rice old enough to smell funny.

I tossed them out. I've lived here almost 6 years and they were here
before me. Chances are I wouldn't have used them anyway.

I did throw them out. Asian food isn't really my thing. Aren't you
glad we didn't decide to elope after all?

LOLOL Persia prefers chicken or beef over fish and seafood. She never
goes after the fish I cook. She did steal a hamburger off the coffee
table once. I stepped away for 30 seconds, just to grab a napkin. I
came back and there was nothing left on the plate but a toasted bun and
some Lays potato chips. Good thing I'd grilled four of them on the
Weber kettle.

Just use them like any other noodle. I would probably make some kind of
lo mein with them rather than put spaghetti sauce or cheese on them.
