Ingredients

500g chicken heart and liver (marinated in soy sauce and pepper)

250g pancit canton (Filipino-style dried egg noodles)

1 medium cabbage, chopped

2 small carrots, sliced

1 whole cauliflower, cut into florets

100g green beans, trimmed

1 stalk celery, chopped

1 medium onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups water

Soy sauce (to taste)

Cooking oil (for sautéing)

Ground black pepper (to taste)

1 piece chicken broth cube

Slurry: 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with ¼ cup water

Instructions

Marinate Chicken Liver:

Marinate the chicken heart and liver in soy sauce and black pepper for about 15 minutes.

Cook the Chicken:

Heat oil in a pan and stir-fry the marinated liver and heart until cooked through.

Remove from the pan and set aside.

Sauté the Aromatics & Vegetables:

In the same pan with a bit more oil, sauté garlic and onion until fragrant.

Add carrots and stir-fry for a few minutes.

Add cauliflower and green beans.

Add Broth & Noodles:

Season with black pepper, then pour in 2 cups water, chicken broth cube, and soy sauce to taste.

Bring to a boil. Once boiling, add pancit canton noodles.

Stir and cook until noodles are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid.

Combine & Finish:

Return the cooked chicken liver and heart to the pan.

Add cabbage and celery. Toss everything together.

Pour in the cornstarch slurry and stir until sauce thickens and the dish is well combined and slightly dry.

Serve:

Serve hot and enjoy as a main dish or side for any occasion.

Notes

You can substitute chicken liver with sliced chicken thigh or pork for a different version.

Add calamansi or lemon on the side for a citrusy kick.

Pancit canton absorbs flavor well—adjust soy sauce and broth to your preference.
