This version comes from a friend from the Philippines. I sometimes don't use the shrimp if I don't have it. Every cook has their own version of this dish. So let your taste be your guide.
Ingredients:
1 boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips
1/2 lb. cooked shrimp (optional)
1 lb. bihon noodles or thin rice noodles, soak in water for 10 minutes.

3 shallots, minced
1/2 med. napa or chinese cabbage, sliced fine
1 small pkg of matchstick carrots
1 c. green beans, cut diagonally like french cut green beans
1/4 c. vegetable oil
4 tbsp. soy sauce
