Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 oz package rice noodles (look for pancit or bihon on the package)
1 tsp vegetable oil
1 medium onion, diced
3 clove garlic, minced
1 bag(s) shredded cole slaw mix (white, red cabbage with shredded carrots)
4 medium carrots, sliced
2 c chicken broth
2 c cooked chicken breast, diced
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 c cooked shrimp, cut into pieces
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, or to taste
1/4 c green onion, sliced
1-2 lemons, quartered

Steps:

  • 1. Break up and place the rice noodles in a large bowl, and cover with warm water. When soft, drain, and set aside.
  • 2. Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic until soft. Stir in cabbage, carrots and soy sauce. Cook until cabbage begins to soften.
  • 3. Add up to 2 cups broth. Add cooked chicken and shrimp. Toss in noodles, and cook until heated through, stirring constantly. Transfer pancit to a serving dish and garnish with green onion and red pepper flakes. Squeeze on some juice of the quartered lemons.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality rice noodles. Rice noodles are the foundation of pancit, so it's important to use high-quality noodles that are made with 100% rice flour. Look for noodles that are thin and translucent, with a slightly chewy texture.
  • Soak the rice noodles before cooking. Soaking the noodles in warm water for 30 minutes before cooking will help to soften them and make them more pliable. This will also help to prevent them from sticking together when you cook them.
  • Use a large skillet or wok. A large skillet or wok will give you plenty of room to cook the pancit without overcrowding it. This will help to ensure that the noodles are evenly cooked and that the vegetables and meat are not steamed instead of fried.
  • Cook the pancit over high heat. High heat is essential for getting a nice sear on the noodles and vegetables. This will help to create a flavorful crust and prevent the noodles from becoming mushy.
  • Don't overcook the pancit. Pancit is a quick-cooking dish, so it's important to not overcook it. The noodles should be tender but still have a slight bite to them. The vegetables should be crisp-tender and the meat should be cooked through but not dry.

Conclusion:

Pancit is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. It's a great way to use up leftover vegetables and meat, and it's also a quick and easy meal to prepare. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious pancit that will please everyone at your table.
