I followed this recipe, which was pretty straight forward, and used pork instead of chicken. (I also used a full onion - I remember most takeaway chinese uses a lot of onion in the vegetable mix.)
The result was pretty good. Nothing fancy, but had that old childhood comfort food feel about it.
For my future reference:

it was and i was the only person who disliked it!
Gee...it's a very inoffensive dish, I think.
much better other options like Peking duck for example
Peking duck was not exactly mainstream takeaway in the 60's, or now.
As it happens, I also think that it is the most over-rated Chinese dish in their whole cuisine. I don't understand why it is held in high regard by many.
Have you tried Lo mein? Its a bit different in texture than chow mein -- more softer in texture. If you have an instant pot, here is a good instant pot chicken lo mein recipe.
