Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 pound boneless chicken thighs, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 8 ounces pancit bihon noodles (rice vermicelli), soaked in warm water until soft
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 1/2 cup sliced green beans or snap peas (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth or water
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil (vegetable or canola)
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon or calamansi

Instructions

  1. Soak the pancit bihon noodles in warm water for about 10 minutes until soft but not mushy. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, marinate the sliced chicken and shrimp with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Let sit for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Prepare the vegetables: slice onion, mince garlic, julienne carrot, shred cabbage, and trim green beans if using.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon cooking oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the marinated chicken and shrimp for 3-4 minutes until cooked through and slightly golden. Remove and set aside.
  5. In the same pan, add more oil if needed. Sauté garlic and onion until fragrant and translucent, about 1-2 minutes. Add carrot, cabbage, and green beans; stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. Return chicken and shrimp to the pan. Add drained noodles, soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce (if using), and chicken broth. Toss gently to coat noodles evenly and cook for 2-3 minutes, adding more broth if needed.
  7. Turn off heat and squeeze fresh lemon or calamansi juice over the noodles. Toss gently, adjust seasoning with salt or pepper if needed, and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Notes

Do not over-soak noodles to prevent tearing. Marinate proteins to lock in flavor. Use high heat and avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Fresh garlic and lemon juice enhance flavor. Leftovers keep well for 3 days refrigerated; reheat gently with broth to prevent drying.
