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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Stir in the shredded chicken. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
- Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and ground black pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.
- 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.
- Continue cooking and tossing the noodles for another 3-5 minutes until they are fully cooked and have absorbed all the flavors.
- 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.
