    mersaydees's Note:

    Based on a recipe from my Chinese Cooking Class Cookbook. Since this recipe has you removing the skin and bones from the chicken breasts, you can probably get away with using boneless skinless breasts versus the whole breasts; I often find the whole breasts cheaper so I use them. NOTE: preparation and cooking times do not include the 2-3 hours that the noodles need to dry nor the 1 hour that the chicken and pork marinate in the refrigerator before cooking.

      This was a HUGE hit at my house! That says a lot - since some of the kiddos tend to be picky. I opted to forgo the fried noodles. I felt like the recipe didn't even need it for the overall finish. We thoroughly enjoyed this with brown rice. The only other change was uping the shrimp to 2 lbs (we love our shrimp!) and I don't cook with alcohol of any kind so subbed apple juice for the dry sherry. We will be making this again soon! Thanks so much for posting an amazing chow mein! I've been on the search for one for some time. Made for the September 2010 Aussie/NZ recipe swap. I will post pics later.
