Welcome to #PutOnASpread, a recipe series that takes you inside the kitchens – and dining rooms – of some of our favourite home cooks. For this instalment, Steph from @luckydragonsupperclub shares her recipe for simple soy sauce longevity noodles.
Longevity noodles, a type of Cantonese egg noodle otherwise known as Yi Mein, are typically enjoyed in celebratory settings to wish for long life. "They have amazing texture, chewy characteristics and are available in Asian grocers," shares Steph from Lucky Dragon Supper Club.
Her simple recipe for soy sauce longevity noodles sees Yi Mein tossed in a delicious umami sauce with earthy shiitake mushrooms and garlicky Chinese chives.
Steph recommends cooking the noodles for one minute less than what the package instructions say as the noodles will continue to cook when stir-frying. As these long noodles are the key to a long life, don't cut them as you eat!
