Cooking Instructions

30 min
  1. 1

    Boil chicken in water with a pinch of salt until cooked through (about 20 minutes). Let it cool, then shred. Reserve at least 1 cup of the broth.

  2. 2

    While the chicken is cooking, soak sotanghon in warm water for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside. Cut into manageable lengths with scissors.

  3. 3

    Heat annatto oil in a large wok or pan. Sauté garlic until golden, then add onions and cook until soft. Add shredded chicken and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, and a bit of broth. Stir to coat the chicken well.

  4. 4

    Add hard vegetables first: carrots, green beans, celery (optional), mushrooms. Cook 2–3 minutes. Add cabbage last to keep it crisp-tender.

  5. 5

    Add soaked sotanghon to the pan. Toss everything gently to avoid breaking the noodles. Add more chicken broth a little at a time until the noodles are soft, flavorful, and coated (not soupy). Season with black pepper.

  6. 6

    Taste and adjust seasoning with more soy sauce or fish sauce if needed. Mix thoroughly until noodles are evenly colored and heated through. Transfer to a serving platter. Top with fried garlic, chopped green onions, calamansi slices, and optional chicharon or eggs.
