Recipe by Karener

This is the way my husband's family makes their pancit bihon. It is a huge hit with all my non-filipino friends as well. All of the meats are interchangeable and optional.

1

lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
1

lb lean pork, fat trimmed
1

lb small shrimp, shelled
3

cloves garlic, minced
1

small onion, thinly sliced

¹⁄₄

cup sesame oil or 1/4 cup vegetable oil (may be substituted)
3

tablespoons soy sauce
¹⁄₂

teaspoon salt
1

teaspoon pepper
1

lb rice noodles (or bean threads)

DIRECTIONS

Start by soaking rice stick noodles in warm water for 15 minutes or until softened, then drain.
Bring chicken, pork and 1-1/2 cups water to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.
Remove from heat; shred the meat into small pieces- reserve the water.
(A sturdy mixer such as a Kitchen Aid can be handy in shredding meat using the whisk attachment).
Heat oil in a large, wide saute pan.
Saute garlic and onion in oil until onion is translucent.
Add shredded meat, shrimp and soy sauce and stir-fry 5 minutes.
Over high heat, add cabbage, carrots, salt, pepper and 1 cup of broth.
Stir fry for an additional 2 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and add rice noodles, tossing gently (wooden spoons work best) until cooked through and well blended, approximately 3 minutes.
If the mixture seems dry, add more broth.
Serve immediately with soy sauce.
