Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams rice noodles (bihon)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 carrots, julienned
- 150 grams green beans, sliced diagonally
- 1 cup green cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, julienned
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 spring onions, sliced
- 4 lemon wedges
Instructions
Begin by soaking the rice noodles in a large bowl of warm water for 10-15 minutes until they are soft. Drain well and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sliced onions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Add the julienned carrots and sliced green beans to the pan, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes while stirring frequently.
Stir in the sliced cabbage and red bell pepper, cooking for another 2 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Pour in the soy sauce and vegetable broth, then bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the drained rice noodles to the pan, using tongs to gently combine them with the vegetables until they are evenly coated with the sauce.
Season with ground black pepper to taste. Continue to cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the noodles have absorbed most of the liquid.
Remove the pan from heat and toss in the sliced spring onions, mixing well.
Serve the Vegetarian Pansit Bihon hot, with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top just before eating.
