Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (about 6-8 oz) Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 small (chopped) Onion
- 1 medium (julienned) Carrot
- 1 cup (shredded) Cabbage
- 4 ounces Rice stick noodles (bihon)
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 stalks (chopped) Green onions
- 1 wedge (for serving) Lemon or calamansi
- 0.5 teaspoon (to taste) Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (to taste) Black pepper
Instructions
Soak the rice stick noodles in warm water for 8-10 minutes until pliable. Drain and set aside.
Thinly slice the chicken breast into bite-sized strips and season with half the soy sauce (1 tablespoon).
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook for 4-5 minutes until fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Sauté the minced garlic and chopped onion until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the julienned carrots and cook for 2 minutes, then add the shredded cabbage and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables. Add the remaining soy sauce (1 tablespoon), oyster sauce, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
Add the softened rice stick noodles into the pan, gently tossing to coat the noodles in the sauce and evenly distribute the ingredients. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the noodles are tender and the sauce is absorbed.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped green onions.
Serve hot with a wedge of lemon or calamansi on the side for an added zesty flavor.
