Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 227 grams Rice noodles (Bihon)
- 250 grams Chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 60 ml Gluten-free soy sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Onion, sliced
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 150 grams Cabbage, shredded
- 100 grams Green beans, sliced
- 480 ml Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 pieces Lemon wedges
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
Instructions
Soak the rice noodles in warm water for about 10 minutes or until they are slightly soft, then drain and set aside.
In a large pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and sliced onion. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the thinly sliced chicken breast to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink and cooked through.
Stir in the carrots, green beans, and cabbage, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Pour in the chicken broth and gluten-free soy sauce. Stir well to combine.
Add the pre-soaked rice noodles to the pan, tossing everything together to ensure the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce and ingredients.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Continue cooking over low heat until the noodles have absorbed most of the liquid and are fully cooked, approximately 5 minutes.
Transfer the pancit bihon to a serving platter.
Garnish with lemon wedges on the side, which can be squeezed over individual servings for an extra zesty kick before eating.
