Pancit Bihon (Stir-Fried Rice Noodles)

Method

1. 1

   Soak the rice vermicelli in warm water for 15 minutes until pliable but firm; drain well.

2. 2

   Heat oil in a wok or wide pan over high heat; add the garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

3. 3

   Add the chicken and sausage; stir-fry until the chicken is cooked through, 4–5 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the carrot and cabbage; toss 2 minutes until just crisp-tender.

5. 5

   Add the drained noodles, soy sauce and a splash of stock; toss until the noodles drink up all the liquid.

   💡 Tongs, not spoons — lift and drop the noodles so nothing clumps.

6. 6

   Serve with lemon wedges squeezed over at the table.
