3 garlic cloves (or to preference)
1 lb.pork shoulder, sliced thinly
2 chicken breasts, sliced thinly
1/2 lb. shrimp, peeled
2 1/2 tbsp.soy sauce
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup shredded cabbage
1 cup green beans or snap peas (preference)
2 carrots, julienned
3/4 cups black or shiitake mushrooms(optional)
1 lb pancit canton (chinese wheat noodles - they're very thin, almost translucent)
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp patis (filipino fish sauce)
4 green onions, sliced
1 lemon or kalamansi, cut into wedges

Steps:

If using mushrooms, soak them in warm water for 30 minutes, then cut into strips, discarding the tough stems. Set aside. Heat oil over medium-high heat in wok or large skillet. Saute garlic and onions until tender. Add pork, chicken and shrimp, and cook until browned. Add soy sauce, stirring to flavor. Add chicken broth and bring to boil. Add cabbage, green beans, carrots and mushrooms. Cook until vegetables are tender, yet crisp, 5-8 minutes. Add noodles, mixing gently to prevent them from breaking. Cook until liquid is absorbed and noodles are done, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Season with black pepper and patis. Garnish with green onions and lemon wedges.
