Ingredients

8.8 oz. package dry Thai Vermicelli rice noodles bihon or any rice noodle will work
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 lb. ground pork
4 cloves garlic minced
1 inch fresh ginger peeled and minced
1 small onion finely minced
1 medium carrot finely minced
2 cups shredded green cabbage
1/3 cup finely minced water chestnuts
2 scallions diced
1 tsp coarse salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce

Instructions

Prepare/soak noodles according to package directions.
Heat the vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot and shimmering, add in the ground pork and cook, undisturbed for 1 minute to get a golden char, then continue cooking breaking it up into tiny crumbles, until no pink remains, about 5 minutes. Drain off any grease.
Add the garlic and ginger to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 20 seconds.
Stir in the onion, carrots, cabbage, water chestnuts, and scallions. Sauté for about 3 to 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Season with the salt and pepper and stir in the soy sauce and oyster sauce.
Add noodles to the pork and vegetable mixture. Toss to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if desired. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Try another protein. Instead of ground pork, you could use ground turkey or pork chops cut into small 1-inch pieces. You could also use chicken, beef, or even shrimp. Just adjust the cooking times accordingly.
Add other veggies. Other veggies that would do well in this pancit recipe include baby corn, snap peas, and green beans.
