Steps:

• In a large pot, add the water and bring to a boil. Cook the vegetables using the following instructions:Cabbage: Cook for about 1 minute or until soft. Remove from the water and dunk into an ice bath for one minute, then transfer to a plate and set aside. String beans: Cook for about 2 minutes or until slightly soft. Remove from the water and dunk into an ice bath for one minute, then transfer to a plate and set aside. Chinese celery: Cook for about 2 minutes or until slightly soft and al dente.

• In a large pan or a wok over medium high heat, add the vegetable oil and onions. Saute onions for about one minute, then add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
• Add the pork and chicken strips into the pan and cook for about 2 minutes or until the meat changes color to light brown.
• Add chicken broth, soy sauce, and oyster sauce into the pot and stir until all ingredients are combined. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to thicken the sauce and finish cooking the meat.
• Add the shrimp and cook until it turns pink and opaque, about one minute.
• Add the wheat noodles and cook for 1-2 minutes until the noodles are al dente.
• Add the blanched vegetables in the pan and stir them in to combine with the ingredients. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm the veggies.

STIR-FRIED RICE NOODLES WITH SHRIMP AND ADOBO (PANSIT BIHON GUISADO)

Steps:

• Soak the mushrooms in the warm water for at least 20 minutes. Drain the mushrooms, reserve the soaking liquid, and thinly slice the mushrooms. Combine the adobo and wine (if using) in a bowl.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the garlic and stir-fry until light gold. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes, or until translucent. Stir in the celery and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Add the adobo. If you are using fresh shrimp, add them, too. Cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Pour the reserved mushroom soaking liquid into a saucepan and add the soy sauce, mushrooms, carrot, and chayote. If you are using dried shrimp, add those, too. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Add the noodles and toss with the rest of the ingredients. As the noodles become tender, separate them until they are able to mix evenly with the veggies, about 3 minutes.
• When the noodles have completely absorbed the liquid and are chewable, stir in the celery, bell pepper, and adobo mixture. Season with the black pepper and mix thoroughly. Pour in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Reduce the heat to low to gently fry the noodles for about 2 minutes. Serve with an extra dash of soy sauce and calamansi juice, if using.

PANSIT/PANCIT PHILIPPINE NOODLE STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Boil the chicken (1 large breast or 2 thighs) in over 3 cups of water (or enough water to cover the meat). Cook until tender. Reserve about 3 cups of the liquid remaining. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred them or slice into small pieces. Set aside.
• Heat oil in a big wok. Saute garlic and onion for a minute. Add the cooked chicken and season with a little salt and pepper. Stir in the veggies and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until a little tender.
• Pour about 2 1/2 cups of the reserved liquid into the wok. Season with the soy and oyster sauces and sugar. Bring to a boil.
• When it begins to boil add the egg noodles (pancit canton, if using this as combo with rice stick noodles). Press and fold the noodles a few times to ensure it gets soaked in the sauce. When it starts to soften stir in the rice stick noodles/pancit bihon. Continue to stir and fold the noodles while trying to soak them in the sauce until all the liquid has dried up and the noodles are tender.
• Add some more stock or water if the sauce dries up before the noodles are tender. Taste and adjust seasoning with a little salt and pepper, if desired. Serve with calamansi (or lemon/lime) - squeeze a few drops on your noodles before eating for some extra flavor and tang! Enjoy!

• Preheat the broiler. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, the ginger and the white and light green scallion parts in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until nearly tender, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots and snap peas; cook until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Add the noodles and sambal sauce and cook, tossing, until the noodles are warmed through and well coated, about 2 minutes.
