Ingredients:  
1 lb chicken thighs or breast, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup shrimp, tails removed and deveined
oil for sauteing
1 small onion diced
1-2 Tbsp minced garlic
3-4 shredded carrots
1 bag coleslaw mix
1/2 pkg vermicelli rice noodles
1/4 cup soya sauce
1 - 2 cups chicken broth
2 - 3 Tbsp fish sauce
2 tsp sea salt
black pepper to taste
lemon juice

Directions:
Break or cut the rice noodles in half and soak in cold water in a large pan while you are working.

Heat the oil over medium heat and add the chicken and minced onions. Saute for 5-8 minutes or until the meat is cooked. Add 1 tablespoon minced garlic and cook for another minute. Remove the chicken mixture from the heat and set aside in a separate bowl.

Add a little more oil to your pan along with the chopped cabbage and carrots. Cook until the veggies are tender.
If you have pre-cooked shrimp, you can simply add them to the veggies and cook for a couple minutes until heated. If your shrimp is not pre-cooked, remove the veggie mixture from the pan to the chicken and cook the shrimp by itself until pink.
Now drain the rice noodles and add to the shrimp in the pan, along with the cabbage and chicken.
Add the soya sauce, 1 cup of chicken broth, and fish sauce. Mix together. It will hard to stir because the whole mixture is very dense.

You may add up to 1 more cup of chicken broth if the pancit seems dry. I have found that this varies depending on the rice noodles and how much vegetable is in your Pancit. I try to make sure there is some liquid in the bottom of the pan as the rice noodles will soak it up.

Season with sea salt and pepper. Sprinkle with fresh lemon juice and serve.
