Perla’s Pancit Canton (Instant Pot)

Ingredients:

• 2 large skinless chicken breasts
• 4 cups water (with chicken bouillon) or chicken stock
• 2-3 sections of bean thread noodles
• 1 medium pack of canton noodles
• 2 cups cabbage, chopped
• 1 cup carrots, julienned
• 1/2 onion
• 2-3 heads garlic
• canola oil
• yellow food color
• optional: snow pea pods
• optional: beef strips, shrimp or pork
• optional dried Shiitake mushrooms, (soak in hot water, then chop)
• salt & pepper to taste

Garnishes:

• lemon slices
• toasted garlic
• parsley

Instructions:

chop up all the veggies, keep onions and garlic separate (I use cole slaw pre-packages as a short cut)

Either make the stock separately and cook chicken with water in the IP, or boil water and use chicken bouillon)

Add oil to the pot and saute the onions until translucent, then add garlic, when both are cooked, add carrots and cabbage into the pot, add soy sauce and saute for 5 mins. since we’re going to put lid on and cook chicken, you don’t want the veggies to fully cook, so they will be half cooked.

Then add (seasoned with salt & pepper) skinless chicken breasts on top, pour 2.5 cups of water or chicken stock over chicken. (or water with chicken bouillon) Put on lid and seal. Manual High Pressure for 5 mins.

Soak the bean thread sections in hot water, outside of the IP.
