Crispy noodles with chicken and shiitake mushrooms

A method of preparing

1. Place the shitake mushrooms in a bowl and pour hot water over them. Set aside while you prepare the rest of the dish.
2. Cook the chow main noodles according to the package directions. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 130-150 degrees Celsius (350-392 degrees Fahrenheit) to help keep the noodles warm.
3. Once cooked, divide the pasta into 2 or 3 roughly equal portions and arrange them into flat rounds. It's best to do this on plates.
4. In a pan, fry 1,5 tablespoons of oil and add a pasta nest. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side, until the pasta is crispy and golden brown. It should be browned on both sides. Once cooked, place the pasta nests in the oven to keep them warm while you prepare the rest.
5. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce and pepper.
6. Cut the chicken into small cubes or strips and add 1,5 tablespoons of the prepared sauce. Set aside.
7. Add cornstarch or potato starch and broth to the remaining sauce.
8. In a pan, fry the chicken in the remaining oil for about 5-6 minutes. When it's almost done, add the vegetables and shitake mushrooms, then stir-fry everything together. After another few minutes, add the prepared sauce and 200 ml of water or broth, as the flour will thicken the sauce. Mix everything together and cook for a while longer.
9. Arrange the crispy pasta nests on plates, along with the chicken, vegetable, and mushroom sauce, and sprinkle everything with sesame seeds, scallions, or cilantro. Serve immediately!
