Preparation

FRIED NOODLES:.
Cook noodles according to package directions until tender yet still firm, about 2 to 3 minutes; drain. Rinse under cold water and drain again.
Prepare jelly-roll pan or cookie sheets by placing several layers of paper towels on. Spread cooked noodles over paper towels; allow to dry 2 to 3 hours.
Heat oil in wok or large skillet over medium-high heat to 375\u00b0F . With slotted spoon or tongs, lower a small portion of noodles into hot oil. Cook until golden brown, about 30 seconds.
Drain noodles on paper towels. Repeat until all noodles are fried.
CHOW MEIN:.
Remove skin and bones from chicken breasts.
Cut chicken and pork into 1-inch pieces.
In large bowl, combine 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 1 1/2 teaspoons sherry and 1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce. Add chicken and pork, tossing to coat well. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
Combine remaining 2 teaspoons cornstarch, 2 tablespoons sherry, 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, water and bouillon granules in small bowl; set aside.
Heat oil in wok or large skillet over high heat. Toss in ginger and garlic, stir-frying 1 minute. Add chicken and pork; stir-fry until cooked through and no longer pink in center, about 5 minutes. Add shrimp; stir-fry until shrimp turns pink, about 3 minutes.
Toss veggies into wok; stir-fry until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add bouillon-soy sauce mixture. Cook and stir until sauce boils and thickens; cook and stir an additional minute.
Arrange Fried Noodles on serving plate; top with chicken mixture and enjoy!
