450 g sliced pork Pork shoulder is recommended for richness.
400 g mixed noodles (pancit canton & bihon) Combining egg noodles and rice vermicelli gives the best texture.
5 cups hot water This serves as the flavorful broth base.
2 medium carrots, julienne cut Adds crunch and vibrancy.
200 g green beans, trimmed Slice at a slight angle for presentation.
2 medium onions, sliced Yellow or red onions both work well.
6 cloves garlic, minced More garlic enhances the fragrance.
as desired chopped celery Optional but adds extra flavor.
2 tbsp oyster sauce Provides an irresistible savory note.
to taste soy sauce Adds umami; start with a little and adjust.
to taste ground black pepper Use freshly cracked for best flavor.
as needed cooking oil Use a high-heat oil like canola or sunflower.

Heat oil in a large pan or wok. Stir-fry the carrots for about 2 minutes, then add the green beans and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, sauté the onions for about 20 seconds, then add the garlic. Once fragrant, add the sliced pork and stir-fry for 3 minutes. Season with soy sauce and ground black pepper.

Pour in the oyster sauce to coat the pork, then add 5 cups of hot water. Cover and let simmer for about 10 minutes or until the pork is tender.
Remove the pork, but retain the broth. Add bihon noodles to the simmering broth, letting them soften. Then add the pancit canton noodles and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring to combine.

Return the pork to the pan, add back the sautéed vegetables and toss in chopped celery. Mix everything well, ensuring the noodles soak up the broth.
Serve warm, straight from the pan. Enjoy with friends and family!
