Vegetables
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- ½ cup cabbage, shredded
- ½ cup snow peas, trimmed

- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional)
Other
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 200 grams Pancit Canton noodles
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Calamansi or lemon, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Noodles: Cook the Pancit Canton noodles according to the package instructions, typically boiling them for 3 to 5 minutes until tender but firm. Drain well and set aside to prevent them from sticking.
- Cook the Meat and Shrimp: Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced chicken breast and shrimp, cooking just until they are opaque and cooked through. Remove them from the pan and set aside to keep warm.
- Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same pan, add the sliced onions and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant and translucent. Add the julienned carrots, bell pepper slices, and trimmed snow peas, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp but still vibrant.
- Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken and shrimp to the pan with the vegetables. Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, and optional fish sauce. Stir everything together and allow the mixture to simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
- Add the Noodles: Add the cooked Pancit Canton noodles to the pan. Toss thoroughly to combine, ensuring the noodles are coated evenly with the savory sauce mixture.
- Season and Serve: Season with salt and pepper according to your taste. Serve hot with a fresh squeeze of calamansi or lemon juice on top and garnish generously with chopped green onions for a burst of freshness.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken breast with pork or tofu for different variations.
- Adjust the amount of soy sauce and fish sauce according to your preferred saltiness level.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of freshly ground black pepper or a dash of oyster sauce.
- Ensure not to overcook the vegetables to retain their crunch and color.
- Calamansi may be replaced with lemon or lime if unavailable.
