Method

Soak the bihon in water for 10 minutes and drain.
Sauté garlic and onion, add the chicken and cook through, then the shrimp.
Add the vegetables briefly, then remove half of the toppings.
Add broth, soy sauce and oyster sauce and bring to a boil.
Add the noodles and toss until they absorb the liquid.
Top with the reserved toppings and serve with calamansi.

👨‍🍳 Chef’s tips

Keep tossing as the noodles absorb the broth so they cook evenly.
