Pancit (Filipino Fried Rice Noodles)

Prep Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 5 mins Servings: 3 people Source:

Ingredients

1X 2X 3X

8 oz. "Excellent" brand rice sticks

2 tablespoons cooking oil

3 cloves garlic (minced)

1/2 small onion (sliced)

4 oz. boneless and skinless chicken thigh or chicken breast (cut into pieces)

4 oz. shrimp (shelled and deveined)

2 oz. green cabbage (thinly sliced)

2 oz. carrots (cut into thin strips)

2 stalks scallions (cut into 2-inch (5 cm) strips)

Seasonings:

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 tablespoon fish sauce

salt (to taste)

3 dashes ground black pepper

Directions

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

Heat a wok or skillet on medium to high heat. Add the oil and stir fry the garlic and onions until the onions turn clear. Add the chicken and shrimp, stir fry until the surface turn white, follow by the cabbage and carrots.

Add the rice sticks in the wok or skillet, stir to combine well with the spatula. If you have a pair of long chopsticks for cooking, use the chopsticks instead of the spatula. This will ensure that the rice sticks won't break too much.

Add all the ingredients in the Seasonings. Stir to mix well. As soon as the noodles are cooked through, about 1 minute, add the chopped scallion, stir and dish out immediately.

Notes

Serve the noodles with calamansi lime, or regular lime. Squeeze some of the juice over the top of the noodles before serving.
