Pancit (Filipino Fried Rice Noodles) Recipe

Ingredients

• 8 oz. (230g) rice sticks ("Excellent" brand )
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1/2 small onion (sliced)
• 4 oz. (125g) boneless and skinless chicken thigh ( or chicken breast, cut into pieces)
• 4 oz. (125g) shrimp (shelled and deveined)
• 2 oz. (60g) green cabbage (thinly sliced)
• 2 oz. (60g) carrots (cut into thin strips)
• 2 stalks scallions (cut into 2-inch (5 cm) strips)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• salt (to taste)
• 3 dashes ground black pepper

Steps

1. 1

   Soak the rice sticks in water for 5-10 minutes, or until they become soft. Drain in a colander and set aside. Prepare the garlic, onions, and vegetables.

2. 2

   Heat a wok or skillet over medium to high heat. Add the oil and stir-fry the garlic and onions until the onions turn translucent. Add the chicken and shrimp, and stir-fry until the surface turns white, followed by the cabbage and carrots.

3. 3

   Add the rice sticks to the wok or skillet and stir to combine well with a spatula. If you have a pair of long chopsticks for cooking, use them instead of the spatula. This will help prevent the rice sticks from breaking too much.

4. 4

   Add all the ingredients for the Seasonings and stir to mix well. Once the noodles are cooked through, about 1 minute, add the chopped scallions, stir, and dish out immediately.
