Noodles are one of my must-have kitchen staples. I may occasionally run out of rice but I always have a steady stock of miswa, bihon, or sotanghon packages in my pantry.

I love that they can be added to various dishes to cheaply extend servings or how they can easily be thrown together with bits of this and that into a quick meal. It's all about piping-hot bowls of sotanghon soup for us during the chilly winter months but comes warmer weather, guisadong sotanghon takes center stage.

Ingredients

I use shredded chicken and a simple medley of mushrooms, celery, carrots, and snow peas, but feel free to add your choice of protein and veggies such as the suggestions below.

  • Cabbage
  • Green beans
  • Bell pepper strips
  • Shitake mushrooms
  • Shrimp
  • Fishballs
  • Ground or diced pork
  • Chicken liver
  • Chinese sausage
  • Sliced egg omelet

Cooking tips

  • NO need to pre-soak the noodles. They'll soften and cook in the pan with the rest of the ingredients.
  • Stir-fries are a quick process. Have all the meat and veggies prepared and ready to go before starting.
  • Cut the ingredients into uniform bite sizes for quick and even cooking.

  • A wok is the best for the job, but any wide skillet with slanted sides will work as well to prevent spills and to ensure good distribution.
  • For easier stir-frying, use tongs or two large spoons to toss ingredients.
  • For best results, keep the vegetables tender-crisp. Slightly undercook them during the initial stir-fry as they will continue to cook when the noodles are finished off.
  • Cook on high heat so everything sears nicely and won’t overcook in the steam.

How to serve

  • Pancit Sotanghon is delicious and filling as a midday snack or main meal. Serve with fried garlic bits, chopped onions, and a generous drizzle of calamansi juice to brighten flavors.
  • If storing for future use, cook it a little bit more wet and saucy as noodles tend to absorb liquid as they stand. Cool completely before transferring to a container with a tight-fitting lid and keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Warm in the microwave at 2 to 3-minute intervals until heated through, stirring after each interval.

  • In a pot over medium heat, combine chicken and water. Bring to a boil, skimming scum that floats on top.

  • Remove vegetable mixture from the pan and keep warm.
  • Add broth to the pan and bring to a boil.
  • Add atsuete powder and stir until well dispersed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add sotanghon noodles and using tongs, toss in the broth to loosen.
  • Continue to toss for about 3 to 5 minutes or until noodles are cooked through but firm to bite. Add more of the reserved if needed.
  • Add the shredded chicken and vegetable mixture, Toss to redistribute and cook until vegetables are tender-crisp and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  • Add snow peas. Adjust seasonings if needed.
  • Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with green onions and fried garlic bits. Serve hot with calamansi on the side.

      No, it's a type of mushroom called cloud ear fungus. 🙂

    I am not a cook. But with your recipes, I learned how to. The recipes you post are easy to follow, now I am no longer intimidated by seemingly complicated recipes. The cautionary words you write at the beginning really helps. I am happy for you that you are able to do this. Whenever I serve my family a successful recipe or even if it's not, I think of you. Thank you!
