Instructions

1. 1Place the about 225 g Bihon noodles in a large bowl and cover them completely with warm water. Let them soak for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are soft and pliable. Once softened, drain the noodles thoroughly in a colander.
2. 2Heat the 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or 30.48 cm skillet over medium heat, about 150°C. Add the 1/2 medium onion, sliced, and the 3 cloves garlic, minced. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is softened and the garlic is fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Do not let the garlic burn.
3. 3Add the about 225 g shrimp to the wok. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the cooked shrimp from the wok and set them aside on a plate.
4. 4Add the 1/2 cup carrots, julienned, the 1 cup cabbage, shredded, and the 1/2 cup celery, sliced, to the wok. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3 to 5 minutes, until they are tender-crisp.
5. 5Pour in the 1 cup chicken broth and the 1/4 cup coconut aminos. Stir to combine and bring the liquid to a gentle simmer.
6. 6Add the drained about 225 g Bihon noodles to the wok with the simmering liquid. Stir constantly, using tongs or two spatulas, to separate the noodles and help them absorb the liquid. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the noodles have absorbed most of the liquid and are tender.
7. 7Return the cooked about 225 g shrimp to the wok with the noodles and vegetables. Add the 1 cup chicken, cooked and shredded. Season the dish with the 1 tbsp fish sauce and the 1/2 tsp ground black pepper. Mix everything together gently to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed and heated through, about 1 to 2 minutes.
8. 8Serve the Pancit Bihon hot immediately.
