Ingredients

Scale

Noodles

  • 8 ounces rice noodles

Sauté Base

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Vegetables

  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • ½ small cabbage, shredded
  • ½ cup snow peas, trimmed

Protein

  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded

Seasonings and Sauces

  • ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Liquids

  • 2 cups low sodium or no sodium added chicken broth

Garnishes

  • ½ lemon, sliced (for serving)
  • Fresh cilantro or chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Soak Noodles: Place the rice noodles in a large bowl and cover them with warm water. Let them soak for about 10 minutes until softened. Drain the noodles well and set aside.
  2. Cook Aromatics: Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic becomes fragrant.
  3. Add Vegetables: Add the julienned carrot, shredded cabbage, and trimmed snow peas to the wok. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes, ensuring they remain tender but still crisp.
  4. Add Chicken: Stir in the shredded cooked chicken and cook for another 2 minutes to blend the flavors.
  5. Season: Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly.
  6. Add Broth and Noodles: Pour the chicken broth into the wok and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the drained noodles and gently toss everything together so the noodles absorb the flavorful liquid.
  7. Cook the Noodles: Continue cooking and tossing the noodles for another 3-5 minutes until fully cooked and infused with the savory sauce.
  8. Serve: Transfer the pancit to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh cilantro or chopped green onions and serve with lemon slices on the side to squeeze over the dish as desired.

Notes

  • Use low sodium soy sauce and chicken broth to control salt content.
  • Feel free to substitute chicken with shrimp or pork for variation.
  • Soaking noodles in warm water is important to prevent them from becoming mushy when cooked.
  • Add vegetables of choice like bell peppers or green beans based on availability.
  • Serving with lemon slices adds a fresh, tangy element that brightens the dish.
