Ingredients
- about 225 g Rice noodles (bihon)
- about 450 g Chicken breast (shredded)
- about 225 g Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 cup Carrot (julienned)
- 2 cups Cabbage (shredded)
- 1/2 cup Celery (sliced)

- 2 tbsp Tamari (gluten-free)
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Place the about 225 g of rice noodles in a large bowl and cover with warm water. Let them soak for 10 minutes until softened, then drain them completely.
- 2Heat a large wok or about 30 cm skillet over medium-high heat (approximately 190°C). Add the 1 medium onion, chopped, and 3 cloves garlic, minced. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until they are fragrant and the onion is slightly softened.
- 3Add the about 450 g of chicken breast, shredded, and the about 225 g of shrimp, peeled and deveined, to the wok. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink and the shrimp turn pink and opaque. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 74°C.
- 4Add the 1 cup of carrot, julienned, 2 cups of cabbage, shredded, and 1/2 cup of celery, sliced, to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- 5Pour in the 2 cups of chicken broth and 2 tbsp of tamari. Bring the liquid to a simmer, which is when small bubbles start to appear around the edges of the pan.
- 6Add the drained about 225 g of rice noodles to the wok. Toss everything together gently for 3-5 minutes, ensuring the noodles are fully coated with the sauce and the liquid is mostly absorbed. The noodles should be tender.
- 7Season the pancit bihon with 1/2 tsp of salt and 1/4 tsp of black pepper. Stir well to combine.
- 8Serve the pancit bihon hot.
