Instructions

  1. Step 1: Soak 180 g rice noodles in warm water for 10 minutes until pliable; drain.
  2. Step 2: Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok over medium-high heat. Add 5 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Step 3: Add 6 oz thinly sliced pork belly and 6 oz thinly sliced chicken breast. Stir-fry for 6-8 minutes until meat is browned and cooked through.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 1 medium julienned carrot and 1/2 cup green beans, cooking for 3 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Step 5: Mix 1/3 cup soy sauce with 2 tbsp brown sugar and 1 cup chicken broth; pour the mixture into the wok. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Step 6: Add drained rice noodles and 2 cups shredded cabbage. Toss gently to combine and cook for 4-5 minutes until noodles absorb the savory-sweet sauce and cabbage softens.
  7. Step 7: Season with 1/2 tsp black pepper and 1 tbsp lemon juice, stir well, then remove from heat and serve warm.
