Pancit Bihon Or Bijon
This is the way my husband's family makes their pancit bihon. It is a huge hit with all my non-filipino friends as well. All of the meats are interchangeable and optional.
Steps
Start by soaking rice stick noodles in warm water for 15 minutes or until softened , then drain.
Bring chicken , pork and 1-1 / 2 cups water to a boil , then reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.
Remove from heat.
Shred the meat into small pieces- reserve the water.
Heat oil in a large , wide saute pan.
Saute garlic and onion in oil until onion is translucent.
Add shredded meat , shrimp and soy sauce and stir-fry 5 minutes.
Over high heat , add cabbage , carrots , salt , pepper and 1 cup of broth.
Stir fry for an additional 2 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and add rice noodles , tossing gently until cooked through and well blended , approximately 3 minutes.
If the mixture seems dry , add more broth.
Serve immediately with soy sauce.
