- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce, low-sodium

Instructions
Start by preparing all ingredients: slice the chicken breast into thin strips, peel and devein the shrimp, and cube the tofu. Slice all the vegetables and set everything aside for easy access during cooking.
Boil water in a large pot and add the Pancit Canton noodles. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until they are no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside with the chicken.
Add the cubed tofu to the pan and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Add the sliced carrots, red bell pepper, and green beans to the same pan. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
Return the chicken, shrimp, and tofu to the pan. Add the shredded cabbage and toss all ingredients together.
Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and chicken broth (or water) into the pan. Stir to combine.
Add the cooked Pancit Canton noodles to the pan, carefully tossing with tongs or spatula to coat the noodles in the sauce and distribute ingredients evenly.
Season with ground black pepper to taste, and drizzle with sesame oil for extra flavor.
Continue cooking and stirring for another 5 minutes until everything is heated through and well combined.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions. Enjoy your high-protein Pancit Canton!
