Chicken Chow Fun

These stir-fried rice noodles are quick and easy to make and full of savory-sweet and tasty recipes. It is a type of Chinese dish which is usually served in dim sum restaurants. It is tossed with the crunchiness of vegetables and a delicious sauce with a hint of sweetness and spiciness.

I first time ate this dish when I lived in Hong Kong and I found it very delicious. Now, I can make my own version. Some cook it with prawns, shrimps, lean pork, beef, and even no meat added still a dish on its own because of its own savory sauce mixture. It is better to have fresh rice noodles but if it is not available in your area, you can use the packed one.
