Thin rice noodles soak up a savory broth seasoned with soy sauce and oyster sauce as they are tossed with sliced chicken, cabbage, carrot, green beans, and celery. Lime wedges are served in place of calamansi, which is not a canonical ingredient, so the squeeze is sharper and less fragrant.

Substitution

Lime in place of “Calamansi”. Lime replaces calamansi, which is not a canonical ingredient ('calamansi' returned no products at the reference store); lime is sharper and lacks the orange-like fragrance.

Method

Soak the noodles in warm water for 10 minutes and drain.
Heat the oil in a wok or wide pan, cook the onion and garlic until fragrant, then add the chicken and stir-fry until no longer pink.
Add the carrot, green beans, and celery and stir-fry 2 minutes, then the cabbage for 1 minute more; move half of the vegetables to a plate.
Pour in the broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and pepper and bring to a boil.
Add the noodles and toss until they absorb the liquid and soften, about 4 minutes.
Return the reserved vegetables, toss, and serve with lime wedges and green onions if using.
