Add vanilla and lemon extracts; beat until stiff peaks form. Fold in crushed noodles and choped nuts. Spoon and arrange meringue in buttered 9 inch pie plate, spreading around sides and on bottom to leave center "hollow" for filling. Bake in a 325 f. oven for 30-35 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool completely. Fill center with partially thawed frozen strawberries. Top with sweetened whipped cream. If desired garnish with coarsely crushed chow mein noodles sprinkle on top.
