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
Directions
Step 1
Soak the rice stick noodles in warm water for 8-10 minutes until pliable. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Thinly slice the chicken breast into bite-sized strips and season with half the soy sauce (1 tablespoon).
Step 3
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.
Step 4
In the same pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Sauté the minced garlic and chopped onion until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Add the julienned carrots and cook for 2 minutes, then add the shredded cabbage and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped green onions.
Step 9
Serve hot with a wedge of lemon or calamansi on the side for an added zesty flavor.
