Directions

Step 1

Prepare the ingredients: julienne the carrot, slice the green beans, shred the cabbage, and slice the red bell pepper. Chop the onion and mince the garlic. Cut the chicken breast into thin strips.

Step 2

In a pot of boiling water, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, usually for about 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until they are browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink, approximately 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside with the cooked chicken.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the julienned carrots, sliced green beans, shredded cabbage, and red bell pepper strips. Sauté the vegetables for about 5 minutes or until they begin to soften.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken and shrimp back to the skillet with the vegetables.

Step 8

Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and chicken broth into the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 9

Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet and toss everything together until well combined and the noodles are heated through.

Step 10

Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 11

Transfer the pansit to a serving platter. Serve the Pancit Canton hot with calamansi or lime wedges on the side.
