Pancit: stir-fried noodles with meat and veggies

Grocery store tips: 
-rice noodles can be found in the international section of most grocery stores or in asian markets. They look like this, and may come in packages that look like this. 
-this recipe can be easily made vegetarian or vegan by omitting the chicken that is called for and substituting your preferred protein source. 
-while carrots, celery, and cabbage are traditional ingredients for this filipino dish, feel free to clean out your refrigerator's veggie drawer and add whatever vegetables you would like :) 

I hope you enjoy making this. 

Take care,
