Equipment

1 Wok or skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 medium yellow onion sliced thin
  • ½ pound pork shoulder sliced thinly sliced in bite size
  • 8 ounces rice noodles (pancit bihon)
  • ½ large green cabbage chopped thin
  • 1 large carrot sliced thin
  • 2 tablespoon oyster sauce or brown sugar
  • ¼ cup soy sauce regular
  • 4-5 cups water or chicken broth more if needed
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 wedges calamansi or lemon
  • ¼ cup green onion for garnish chopped

Instructions
 

  • Heat cooking oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Sauté garlic and onion until translucent.
  • Add in your pork and cook in medium to high heat for about 7-10 minutes or until it turn golden brown.
  • Stir fry your cabbage and carrots for 2-3 minutes in high heat.
  • Pour soy sauce, oyster sauce, and water or broth and submerge rice noodles in. Cover the wok and turn to medium heat to cook the rice noodles until it is tender and absorb most of the water.
  • Stir occasionally to make sure everything is well combined. Add more broth (or water) if the dish is dry before the noodles are tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste accordingly.
  • Garnish with green onion with drizzle lemon juice on the side. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Recipe Note:

  • The rice noodles or bihon will double in size but double up the recipe if feeding a big crowd or more than 6 people. 
  • Customize your vegetables according to your taste. This is one of my favorite ways to clean the fridge and add all the veggies I got.
  • Soaking the rice noodles for 10 minutes or longer will shorten the cooking time since they will come out soft and chewy from soaking them.
