- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1½ cups bean sprouts
- 2 stalks celery with leaves, sliced
- 1 shrimp-flavor broth cube
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 carrot, julienned (optional)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp chopped spring onions (for garnish)
- 1 lime or calamansi, cut into wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Soak glass noodles in warm water for 5–10 minutes until softened. Drain and set aside.
- Heat oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Sauté garlic and onion until fragrant.
- Add sausage and cook for 2–3 minutes until browned.
- Stir in carrots (if using) and celery. Cook for 1 minute.
- Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Dissolve broth cube in 1/2 cup hot water and pour into pan. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add cabbage and bean sprouts. Stir and cook for 1–2 minutes until slightly softened.
- Add drained noodles. Toss gently until noodles absorb the sauce. Add extra water if needed to loosen.
- Turn off heat, stir in spring onions, and serve with lime or calamansi wedges.
Notes
- To prevent noodles from sticking, drizzle a little oil after soaking.
- Add seafood like shrimp for variation, or make it vegetarian with tofu.
- Use tamari and gluten-free sauces for a GF version.
- Adjust broth and sauces for a soupier or drier texture.
- Best served fresh; avoid freezing.
