Filipino Pancit - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb pancit noodles
    1 lb vermicelli
    1 1/2 cups sliced cabbage
    1 cup chopped carrot
    1 cup chopped bell pepper (green, red or yellow)
    1/2 cup chopped green onion
    1 lb lean pork, sliced thinly and cut in small pieces
    5 tablespoons soy sauce
    1 onion, minced
    6 garlic cloves, crushed
    1/2 cup cooking oil
    2 chicken bouillon cubes (or pork bouillon if you can find it)
    6 cups water
    1 1/2 tablespoons oyster sauce
    2 teaspoons sugar
    fresh ground pepper
    2 lemons (each cut into 4 wedges)
Preparation
    Soak the pancit noodles for about 5 minutes until soft.
    Slice and chop the vegetables and the meat and set aside. Heat the oil in a wok or large non-stick pan and add the pork, onion and garlic. Saute until the pork is cooked through. Add the vegetables and saute about 3 minutes.
    Add the water, soy sauce, oyster sauce, bouillon, sugar and pepper (to taste). Bring to a simmer and let the mixture cook for about 5 minutes.
    Add the soaked pancit and the vermicelli. Stir until the vermicelli is cooked and the noodles have soaked up the broth.
    Serve with a wedge of lemon to squeeze over the top before eating.
