Notes

  1. You can substitute the shrimp for beef, pork, chicken, or even tofu.
  2. For a vegetarian option, try my other recipe for Vegetable Filipino Pancit.
  3. Instead of chicken broth, you can also use beef broth or vegetable broth.
  4. This dish can be served hot or cold.
  5. Serve with sliced lemon wedges. The citrus really brings out all the sweet and savory flavor of the dish.
  6. To save cooking time, blanch all the vegetables and add them all at once to the wok. This will eliminate Steps #3 thru 6 and cut down on sautéeing time!
  7. Garnish with cilantro if desired.
