How to Make Pancit Bihon Or Bijon

  1. Soak 8 ounces of rice stick noodles (bihon) in warm water for 15 minutes, or until softened. Drain thoroughly.
  2. In a large pot, combine 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, 1 pound pork shoulder (or substitute with other meats like beef or shrimp), and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  3. Remove the chicken and pork from the pot. Let cool slightly, then shred into small pieces. Reserve the cooking liquid.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large, wide wok or saute pan over medium heat.
  5. Add 4 cloves minced garlic and 1 medium onion, chopped, and saute until the onion is translucent (about 5 minutes).
  6. Add the shredded chicken and pork, 1/2 pound shrimp (optional, peeled and deveined), and 2 tablespoons soy sauce. Stir-fry for 5 minutes.
  7. Increase heat to high. Add 1 medium head of cabbage, shredded; 1 large carrot, julienned; 1 teaspoon salt; and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir-fry for 2 minutes.
  8. Reduce heat to low. Add the drained rice noodles and 1 cup of the reserved chicken and pork broth. Toss gently until the noodles are cooked through and well coated (about 3 minutes). Add more broth if needed to prevent dryness.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with extra soy sauce (optional).
