Pancit has become a go-to meal in my house, and I think you’ll enjoy it just as much. It’s straightforward to make and packed with flavors that are both comforting and exciting. You’ll soak the rice noodles while you prep the vegetables and chicken, making the most of your time in the kitchen. What I love most is how it all comes together in one pan. You’ll sauté the onions and garlic, toss in the veggies and chicken, and then mix in the noodles with that savory sauce. The result is a harmonious blend of tender noodles, crisp vegetables, and chicken that’s simply satisfying. Place 8 ounces of rice noodles in a large bowl and cover them with warm water. Let them soak for about 10 minutes, or until softened. Drain and set aside. In a large wok or skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the 1 large sliced onion and 3 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant. Add the 1 medium julienned carrot, ½ small shredded cabbage, and ½ cup of trimmed snow peas to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp. Stir in 1 cup of shredded cooked chicken. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine and the chicken to warm up. Pour in ¼ cup of low-sodium soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, and ½ teaspoon of ground black pepper. Stir everything together until well combined. Adjust the soy sauce to your taste preference; you can always add more later if needed. Pour 2 cups of low-sodium chicken broth into the wok and bring it to a simmer. Add the drained rice noodles to the wok and gently toss them with the vegetables and chicken until everything is well coated and the noodles have absorbed most of the liquid. Continue cooking and tossing the noodles for another 3-5 minutes until they are fully cooked and have absorbed all the flavors. Transfer the pancit to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or green onions and serve with lemon slices on the side.
