Call it American chopsuey or crispy fried noodles, it remains to be one popular dish among grownups and kids alike. It is another twist put into Chinese cuisine. The technicality of its origin is quite confusing so lets skip that and head to the easy part. Mixed vegetables along with chicken tossed into lip-smacking sauce over a crispy noodle nest with a fried egg resting on top. Always lifts my spirit to a whole new level.
