Cooking Instructions
- 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
While the chicken is cooking, soak sotanghon in warm water for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside. Cut into manageable lengths with scissors.
- 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
Add hard vegetables first: carrots, green beans, celery (optional), mushrooms. Cook 2–3 minutes. Add cabbage last to keep it crisp-tender.
- 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
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.

It starts with a stir fry of pork, mushrooms, and veggies, followed by an Asian stock, which poaches eggs. The soup is labeled over noodles. Surprisingly hearty yet light. Lance Wilson -
