Recipe video above. Crispy noodles topped with a saucy chicken and vegetable stir fry, my favourite dish at my local Chinese!! Restaurants typically make this by deep frying the noodles. For my home version, I crisp up the noodles in a pan - much healthier, less mess, just as fast and definitely just as tasty!
