Ingredients:
1 pack of rice noodles (bihon)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 carrots, julienned
1/2 head cabbage, chopped
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1/2 cup snow peas
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 cup chicken broth
Salt and pepper to taste
Green onions, chopped, for garnish
Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions:
Prepare the Noodles:
Soak the rice noodles in warm water for about 10-15 minutes or until they soften. Drain and set aside.
Cook the Chicken:
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Sauté the Vegetables:
In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed. Sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent. Add the carrots, cabbage, bell peppers, and snow peas. Stir-fry the vegetables until they are tender but still crisp.
Combine Ingredients:
Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables. Add the softened rice noodles, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and chicken broth. Toss everything together until the noodles are well coated with the sauce and the ingredients are evenly distributed. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is heated through.
Season and Garnish:
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped green onions.
Serve:
Serve the pancit hot with lemon wedges on the side. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top before eating for an extra burst of flavor. 🍋🍜
