Stir Fried Noodles

Crispy deep-fried noodle nest topped with fresh seafood in a rich savoury sauce

Product information

Ingredients

Golden crispy deep-fried egg noodles (mì chiên giòn arranged into a nest structure), premium peeled fresh prawns, tender scored squid pieces, seasoned chicken breast slices, sliced barbecue pork (char siu), broccoli florets, cauliflower pieces, sliced carrots, snow peas, sliced celery, button mushrooms, baby corn, minced garlic, premium oyster sauce, light soy sauce, tapioca starch thickener, a touch of sesame oil, ground white pepper, vegetable frying oil, fresh coriander sprigs, sliced fresh red chillies.

Food history

Seafood Bird Nest (Mì chiên giòn hải sản / Bird's Nest Chow Mein) is a spectacular showpiece of Cantonese-Vietnamese culinary craftsmanship, highly popular across the grand banquet halls of Cholon (Saigon's historic Chinatown). The dish is named after its dramatic presentation, where fine egg noodles are carefully shaped in a double-strainer basket and deep-fried into a crisp, intricate 'nest'. It is then filled to the brim with premium stir-fried ocean seafood, meats, and bright market vegetables bathed in a rich, glossy gravy that slowly softens the inner noodles while leaving the outer rim perfectly crunchy.

Allergens

Contains egg and gluten (crispy egg noodles), crustacea (prawns), molluscs (squid, oyster sauce element), and soy (soy sauce and meat marinades). Prepared in a commercial kitchen environment that also handles peanuts, sesame, and dairy.

Storage

Best enjoyed immediately while the noodle nest is perfectly crispy and the seafood topping is piping hot. Due to the fried structure and thick sauce base, this item is highly prone to becoming soggy and does not store well as a leftover.

Preparation

If transportation or delay is necessary, store the fried noodle nest and the wet seafood gravy in separate containers, combining them only right before consumption to maintain the signature crispy crunch.

Cooking

To reheat separate elements: Warm the seafood and vegetable gravy in a saucepan over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes until boiling hot. Re-crisp the noodle nest in an oven or air fryer at 160°C for 2 to 3 minutes before combining.

Serving

Serve freshly assembled on a large square ceramic plate over a light bed of shredded lettuce. Topped beautifully with fresh coriander sprigs and red chili slices for a bright finish, providing an elegant contrast of dramatic textures in every single bite.
