Method

Prepare Noodles

  1. 1

    Cook the Egg Noodles

    Boil a pot of salted water and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Fry the Noodles

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, take small portions of the cooked noodles and shape them into nests. Fry each nest until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Cook Protein and Vegetables

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    In the same pan, add the diced chicken breast and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  2. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    In the same pan, add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside with the chicken.

  3. 5

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add the bell pepper, carrot, and green onion to the pan. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.

Make Gravy

  1. 6

    Prepare the Gravy

    In a small saucepan, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, and bring to a simmer. In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the simmering broth until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble the Dish

  1. 7

    Assemble Crispy Noodles

    Place the crispy noodle nests on a serving plate. Top with the sautéed vegetables and cooked chicken and shrimp. Drizzle the light gravy over the top. Serve immediately.
