Directions
Prepare the noodles: Soak the rice noodles in warm water for 10 minutes until softened, then drain and set aside. If using egg noodles, cook them according to the package instructions, drain, and set aside.
Cook the chicken and shrimp: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until lightly browned, about 5–7 minutes. Remove and set aside. In the same pan, add the shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes until they turn pink. Remove and set aside with the chicken. Sauté the vegetables:
Sauté the vegetables: Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan. Sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the carrots, cabbage, snow peas, and bell peppers. Stir-fry for 3–5 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
Add the sauces and broth: Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce (if using), and ground black pepper. Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer.
Cook the noodles: Add the softened rice noodles (and egg noodles if using) to the pan. Toss gently to combine the noodles with the vegetables and sauce, allowing the noodles to absorb the liquid, about 5 minutes.
Combine everything: Return the cooked chicken and shrimp to the pan, stirring everything together. Let it cook for another 2–3 minutes to heat through.
Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with calamansi or lemon wedges and chopped spring onions. Serve hot.
