Set by Step Directions
- Noodle Time! Boil those rice noodles according to package instructions. Once they’re soft and cuddly, drain them and set them aside like they’re taking a well-deserved nap.
- Veggie Sauté Dance: In a large pan or wok, heat a splash of oil (I like extra virgin olive oil) over medium heat, add the King Prawns, cook until they turn pink. Then take out the pan and set aside on a separate plate.
- Add the chicken breast into the pan until cooked then add the onions and sauté until they’re translucent. Don’t worry, we’ll save the tears for later! Toss in carrots, garlic and cabbage letting them party in the pan for a few minutes until they start to soften.
- Flavor Explosion: Pour in the soy sauce and vegetable broth like you’re dousing the dance floor with flavor. If you’re feeling fancy and using tofu, toss it in now for extra fun!
- Noodle Mix-Up: Add the cooked noodles to the pan and toss everything together like you’re creating a noodle masterpiece. Let it cook for a couple more minutes so those noodles can soak up all that deliciousness
- Serve and Celebrate: Plate your vibrant Pancit and dig in! Feel free to sprinkle some green onions or sesame seeds on top for that extra crunch factor.
- Enjoy your Pancit adventure! This will feel like you’re in the Philippines street food!
