Ingredients

  • 8 ounces rice noodles
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 medium carrot julienned
  • ½ small cabbage shredded
  • ½ cup Snow peas trimmed
  • 1 cup cooked chicken shredded
  • ¼ cup soy sauce low sodium
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
  • 2 cups chicken broth low sodium or no sodium added
  • ½ lemon sliced (for serving)
  • fresh cilantro or green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the rice noodles in a large bowl and cover with warm water. Let them soak for about 10 minutes, or until softened. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large wok or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
  3. Add the julienned carrot, shredded cabbage, and snow peas to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  4. Stir in the shredded chicken. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
  5. Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and ground black pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.
  6. Pour the chicken broth into the wok and bring to a simmer. Add the drained noodles to the wok and gently toss them with the vegetables and chicken until everything is well coated and the noodles have absorbed most of the liquid.
  7. Continue cooking and tossing the noodles for another 3-5 minutes until they are fully cooked and have absorbed all the flavors.
  8. Transfer the pancit to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions and serve with lemon slices on the side.

Notes

  • Vegetable Variations: Feel free to add other veggies like bell peppers, broccoli, or bok choy for more color and nutrition.
  • Adjusting Seasoning: Always taste and adjust the seasoning before serving. You might prefer a bit more soy sauce or a squeeze more lemon.
  • Noodle Texture: Be careful not to over-soak or overcook the rice noodles, as they can become mushy quickly.
  • Make Ahead: You can prep all the vegetables and proteins ahead of time to make cooking even faster.
  • Garnish Ideas: Crushed peanuts or a sprinkle of sesame seeds can add a nice crunch on top.
