1. Chinese cooking wineor Mirin (or cooking sake or dry sherry) is an essential ingredient for making a truly "restaurant standard" stir fry sauces.

If you cannot consume alcohol, it can be skipped.

2. Chow Mein noodlesrequired in order to crisp up. Normal slippery noodles won't crisp up in the pan. Sold at Asian grocery stores and also at Woolworths/Coles in Australia (Fantastic noodles brand, fridge section), see in post for post and description.

Excellent substitute- ramen or instant noodles! Toss the seasoning pack, spray the hard, UNCOOKED ramen noodle Cale with oil then bake 5 minutes each side at 180°C/350°F. Shape is different but works the same!
