Instructions
- Sautee garlic and onions for about 2 minutes. Add shrimp and stir until they turn pink. Remove shrimp from the pan and keep aside.
- Sautee chicken in the same pan; stir until the juices come out.
- Add carrots and green beans and stir for a couple of minutes, then add mushrooms, cauliflower, and snow peas (if using).
- Season with salt and ground black pepper. Stir.
- Add the chicken broth followed by the bihon noodles then turn twice. Add soy sauce, stir for a bit, then add oyster sauce. Continue to stir until all the ingredients are mixed, around 5 minutes or so. Add water slowly if the noodles are still dry. The noodles here should look a bit wet as it would welcome the egg noodles (canton) on the next step.
- Add canton noodles, cabbage, snow peas, and patis. Mix again.
- Transfer onto a serving plate and serve with calamansi or lemon on the side.
- Top with thinly sliced green onions.
