Before starting the cooking process, add the rice vermicelli noodles to a cold bowl of water and allow them to soak for at least 30 minutes.
Begin by heating olive or vegetable oil over medium-high in a large wok. Once the oil is heated, add the chicken, season lightly with salt and black pepper, and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked and lightly browned. Add the Shrimp to the chicken and continue cooking until the shrimp is cooked through.
Next, add the onion and garlic sautéing for just a couple of minutes until the garlic is aromatic. Now add the vegetable mix and continue the sautéing process until the vegetables have started to soften and the cabbage has cooked down.
Whisk together all of the sauce ingredients, pour it over the chicken and veggies, then stir to combine.
Lastly, drain the noodles, add them to the wok with about 2 cups of water, cover and allow them to cook for about 5-6 minutes. Stir the noodles occasionally until they begin to pull apart and incorporate with the rest of the ingredients.
Serve the Pancit Bihon hot with lime wedges for squeezing over the dish.

Rice Vermicelli noodles are essential to this recipe and cannot be switched out for others if you want a traditional Pancit Bihon.
