Prep fresh ingredients for pancit, including cutting 4 oz of pork meat into small pieces and using 2 boneless skinless chicken thighs.

Create a broth by adding 2 and 1/2 teaspoons of chicken bouillon powder to 2 cups of water.

Preheat a wok and add several tablespoons of cooking oil.

Sauté chopped onion in the wok first until fragrant.

Add chopped garlic and sauté quickly.

Cook the chicken thigh pieces in the wok until cooked through, then remove them from the pan.

Add a little more oil to the pan and cook the pork until sautéed and cooked.

Add all fresh vegetables (including sugar snap peas) to the pan and sauté quickly to keep texture.

Add shrimp to the pan and sauté quickly to prevent overcooking, then remove all meat and vegetables from the pan.

Add the broth to the pan and scrape up the fond for flavor.

Add 2 and 1/2 tablespoons of oyster sauce and 2 teaspoons of dark soy sauce to the broth.

Season with cracked black pepper (around 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon) and mix well.

Add half of the pancit canton noodles to the pan and toss to soak and soften them.

Add the remaining cooked ingredients back into the pan and mix everything together.

Shut off the heat and add sliced scallions and a drizzle of sesame oil to finish the dish.

Squeeze fresh lime juice over the pancit before serving.
