Ingredients

Scale

For the Pancit:

  • 1 lb rice noodles (bihon)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded (or pork, sliced)
  • 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined (optional)
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 1 cup green beans, sliced diagonally
  • 1 small cabbage, shredded
  • 1/2 cup celery, sliced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

For Garnish:

  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 lemon, sliced into wedges
  • Toasted garlic (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Noodles:
    Soak the rice noodles in warm water for 10-15 minutes until softened. Drain and set aside.
  2. Cook the Protein:
    Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp (if using) and cook until pink and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Aromatics:
    Add the remaining oil to the wok. Sauté onions and garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the Meat:
    Stir in the cooked chicken (or pork) and mix well. Cook for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  5. Cook the Vegetables:
    Add the carrots, green beans, celery, and cabbage. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  6. Simmer the Sauce:
    Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  7. Add the Noodles:
    Gently toss the soaked rice noodles into the wok, ensuring they absorb the sauce and mix evenly with the vegetables and meat. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the noodles are fully heated and coated.
  8. Combine Shrimp (Optional):
    If using shrimp, toss them back into the wok and mix gently.
  9. Serve:
    Transfer the pancit to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped green onions, toasted garlic (if desired), and lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.

Notes

  • You can substitute the protein with tofu for a vegetarian option.
  • Add more soy sauce or a splash of fish sauce if you prefer a saltier flavor.
  • For extra richness, drizzle sesame oil over the noodles before serving.
