Crispy and juicy dragon noodles is something I got to taste at a very small restaurant near my house. It seemed simple to prepare and tried it at home after three attempts I got it right. Few tips from me are prepare the crispy noodles ahead of time and store in air tight container. For vegetarian and vegan friendly options we can use tofu, paneer, potato or cauliflower instead of chicken.
