When I was a child my biggest treat was to have crispy noodles as a side dish with Chinese food they were like nests but flat not actual noodles. I can never get these anymore and wondered why? Many thanks
I had an adopted Chinese Aunt who owned and ran a Chinese Restaurant when I was a wee one and I remember the noodles (I think) you are talking about.
If my memory serves me, they were wide, flat chow mein noodles that were fried and crispy, and served as a side dish. Gefen sells them in the wide and flat narrow style on Amazon.
If they are the one's I'm thinking of, chow mein brand still sells them. I have recently started using them as a topper on a mixed veggie salad I made up
