Filipino Fried Noodles

• 8 ounces dried rice vermicelli
• Warm water
• 8 ounces dried Chinese wheat noodles (pancit canton)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more as needed
• 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped ( 3/4 cup)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced (1 tablespoon)
• 1 pound skinless boneless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1/4 cup citrus soy sauce (see Notes)
• 1/4 cup regular soy sauce
• 1 small head cabbage, shredded (4 cups)
• 2 large carrots, peeled and shredded (2 cups)
• 2 stalks celery, trimmed and chopped (1 cup)
• Chopped green onions for garnish

1. In a heatproof bowl, soak the rice vermicelli in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes until soft and pliable.
2. Cut into 4-inch lengths, drain, and set aside.
3. Cook the wheat noodles in a large pot of boiling water according to package directions until al dente.
4. Tip into a colander over the sink and rinse under cold running water.
5. Drain and set aside.
6. Preheat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat for 1 minute.
7. Swirl in the oil and heat until it becomes runny and starts to shimmer.
8. Throw in the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is soft and translucent, 2 to 3 minutes.
9. Add the chicken and stir and cook until no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes.
10. Add the citrus soy sauce and regular soy sauce and toss to coat.
11. Toss in the cabbage, carrots, and celery and stir and cook until the cabbage wilts, 2 to 3 minutes.
12. Throw in the vermicelli and noodles and stir everything swiftly around the wok until well mixed and heated through (use a spatula in each hand to evenly toss the noodles if necessary), 4 to 5 minutes.
13. Bite into a rice noodle to see if its tender.
14. Adjust seasonings if necessary.
15. If the noodles are looking a little dry, add water or chicken stock a few tablespoons at a time.
16. If the noodles start to stick to the wok, add more oil.
17. Transfer the noodles to a serving platter, scatter with green onions, and serve.
