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

-
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.
