Vegan Pancit Canton Stir Fry
This is a Vietnamese style stir fry using Filipino noodles! This is based on a stir fry my mom used to make with e-fu noodles, but since those have eggs in them, I switched to this noodle! It's easy, versatile, and customizeable.

Prepping the soy curls
In a large mixing bowl, rehydrate soy curls with hot water + broth powder (optional). Once softened (about 10 minutes), drain and squeeze out as much of the liquid as you can.
75 g dry soy curls
In a large wok over medium heat, heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil and add the rehydrated soy curls. Sprinkle cornstarch and mushroom broth powder over the soy curls, and stir to coat everything well as you fry until both sides are browned.Once cooked and browned to your liking, transfer into a clean bowl and set aside. 1 tbsp vegetable oil, 1 tbsp corn starch, 1 tbsp mushroom broth powder
Prepping the veggies
In the same large wok, add another tbsp of oil stir fry onion, carrots, and the whites of the green onions until the carrots are cooked just past tender-crisp (softened with a slight bite).
1 medium yellow onion, 2 carrots, 3 green onions, 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Add the green onions, and cook until those are tender crisp (or to your desired texture). Then remove all the veggies from the pan into the same bowl as the soy curls.
2 cups green beans
To cook the noodles
Bring 4 cups of well seasoned vegetable broth to a boil, then add the dry pancit noodles. Stir to submerge and let the noodles cook through. Once the noodles are chewy and have absorbed most of the water, taste to check for seasoning.
4 cups well seasoned vegetable broth, 1 package
I season with soy sauce and dark soy sauce to taste, and add sesame oil to give the noodles more slip. Feel free to add pepper to taste as well.
1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp dark soy sauce, Black pepper to taste
Add the cooked soy curls and veggies and stir to incorporate everything and heat through, then serve!
