Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Begin by soaking the rice stick noodles in water for 5-10 minutes or until they become soft. Drain them in a colander and set them aside. Also, prepare the minced garlic, sliced onions, and all the vegetables.
  2. Heat a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and stir-fry the minced garlic and sliced onions until the onions become translucent.
  3. Add the chicken and shrimp, stir-frying until they turn white. Follow by adding the shredded cabbage and julienned carrots.
  4. Incorporate the soaked rice stick noodles into the wok or skillet, stirring gently with a spatula. If you have long cooking chopsticks, you can use them instead of the spatula to avoid breaking the noodles.
  5. Add all the ingredients for the seasonings and stir to combine everything well. Once the noodles are cooked through, which takes about 1 minute, add the chopped scallion, stir, and immediately transfer the dish to a serving plate.
  6. Serve the delicious stir-fried rice stick noodles with calamansi lime or regular lime. Squeeze some lime juice over the noodles just before serving to enhance the flavors.
