- 1/2 cup sliced carrots
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 3 green onions, diced

Instructions
- Submerge rice noodles in warm water, following package instructions to achieve optimal softness and texture.

- Use thinly sliced beef cuts like sirloin or flank steak for tenderness and quick cooking.
- Customize the dish by adding protein variations like chicken, shrimp, or tofu for different dietary preferences.
- Enhance flavor complexity by adding a splash of fish sauce or oyster sauce during cooking for an authentic Filipino taste boost.
