LONGEVITY NOODLES WITH CHICKEN, GINGER AND MUSHROOMS
During Chinese New Year, long noodles are eaten in all corners of China. "Longevity noodles," also presented at birthday celebrations, are never cut or broken by the cook, and if they can be eaten without biting through the strands, it's considered even more auspicious. Longevity noodles are usually stir fried, presenting challenges to the home cook. Noodles should be stir-fried alone and lightly oiled so that they don't clump together in the wok, and all ingredients must be completely dry so they sear properly.

Steps:
- Bring a medium saucepan of water to boil over high heat and cook noodles until just done, 3 to 5 minutes, stirring to prevent sticking. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water until cool, then shake well to remove water. Return noodles to pot, add sesame oil, and toss.
- Put chicken in a shallow bowl and add ginger, one teaspoon rice wine, cornstarch, one teaspoon soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Mix gently to combine. In a small bowl, combine remaining one tablespoon rice wine and one tablespoon soy sauce.
- Heat a wok over high heat until a bead of water evaporates almost on contact. Swirl in one tablespoon peanut oil, add red pepper flakes and stir-fry 10 seconds using a metal spatula. Push pepper flakes aside and add chicken, spreading in a single layer to maximize contact with the wok. Let cook undisturbed one minute, until chicken begins to sear.
- Stir-fry chicken and pepper flakes together, tossing in the wok, for a minute or 2 until just done. Remove to a bowl. Add cabbage and mushrooms and stir-fry one minute until just wilted but not cooked. Empty into the bowl with chicken.
- Reheat wok, swirl in remaining one tablespoon peanut oil, and add noodles. Stir-fry 30 seconds, moving constantly to heat through. Swirl soy sauce-rice wine mixture and add to wok along with chicken-vegetable mixture and scallions. Sprinkle on 3/4 teaspoon salt and stir-fry a minute or 2 until chicken and vegetables are heated through.

LONGEVITY NOODLES
The goal of longevity noodles is to create one long, slick, uniform strand, gently pulled over and over again until you get the right thickness.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, add the flour and salt and mix well to combine.
- Add the room-temperature water slowly while mixing the dough with your hands. Using both hands, knead the dough until it comes together in a smooth ball, 3 to 5 minutes.
- When the dough is formed, cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- After resting, remove the plastic wrap and knead the dough in the bowl a few more times. Cover again with plastic wrap and let it rest for another 15 minutes.
- After the second rest, brush a bit of the oil on the dough and place it on a cutting board or work surface. Cut the dough in half, and using your hands, roll each piece of dough into a long, snake-like cylindrical shape, a little over 1⁄2 inch (12 mm) in diameter.
- Lightly coat a large container with oil. Store the dough inside by forming each piece into a spiral (like a resting snake). Brush the dough with a bit of extra oil to prevent sticking. Cover it with plastic wrap and rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (if using immediately) or up to 1 day.
- When ready to use, remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Fill a large pot with water, enough for the noodles to swim freely in. Set the pot over high heat and bring to a boil.
- Work with one coil of dough at a time. Pick up one end of the dough coil with one hand, then grab it about 4 inches (10 cm) down the strand with your other hand.
- Using your first hand, pull the end of the dough out and away from your second hand, to stretch it without breaking it. Continue pulling the dough with your first hand, stretching it out with the other. This should lengthen and slim the dough without breaking it. After you have finished stretching the length of the noodle, the dough should be less than 1⁄2 inch (12 mm) in diameter, roughly 8 feet (2.5 m) long.
- Loop the dough into a large ring roughly 18 inches (46 cm) in diameter. You might have to loop the dough several times. With your hands shoulder-width apart, pick up the dough ring with both of your hands, cradling it with your fingers. Make sure not to tangle the strand.
- With both hands holding the dough, pull the noodle ring outward while slapping it up and down on the work counter. Pull until the individual strand is less than 1⁄4 inch (6 mm) in diameter. (You could go thinner, but it requires skill.) Be careful not to break it; if the noodle snaps, simply pick up where the strand breaks and resume pulling. Each noodle should end up being roughly 27 feet (8 m) long.
- Repeat the stretching, pulling, and slapping process with the second half of the snake coil.
- Once done pulling both pieces of dough, throw the noodles into the boiling water right away, stirring so the noodles don't stick to themselves or the side of the pot.
- When the water comes back to a rapid boil, pour 1 cup of cold water into the pot. Bring back to a boil and cook for 1 minute before adding another cup of cold water. Once the pot boils again, carefully fish out the noodles using a hand strainer or spider. The noodles should have boiled for 2 to 3 minutes in total.

Steps:
- First, prepare the peanut sauce. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Add onion, 1 teaspoon of the grated ginger, and garlic. Saute about 5 minutes until onion is tender. Next stir in the soy milk (or regular milk of your choice), peanut butter and lemon juice until the peanut butter is melted, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Next prepare the marinade. Combine the wine, soy sauce, 2 teaspoons ginger, cornstarch and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a medium bowl. Add chicken pieces and toss. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes.
- Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain, rinse and set aside.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet, or wok, coated with cooking spray over medium high heat. Add the marinated chicken. Saute, stirring often, 2 minutes or until no longer pink inside. Add snow peas and carrot and cook 4 minutes, stirring often, until tender crisp. Stir in peanut sauce, salt, and black pepper. Add noodles and toss until heated through. Remove from heat and sprinkle with green onions.

- If using fresh egg noodles, there is no need to do anything to prep them, as they will be easy to snap into snackable pieces after frying. If using egg roll or wonton wrappers, cut them into 1x4 inch (2.5x10 cm) strips.
- In a wok or deep medium pot where the oil will only come up about half the height of the pot, heat the oil to 375-400°F (190-204°C). Use a deep fry thermometer/candy thermometer to maintain temperature.
- Take a small handful of the noodles, and carefully drop them into the oil. As soon as they hit the oil, use a pair of wooden or bamboo chopsticks to break them up and prevent them from sticking together as they fry and expand.
- Fry for 20-30 seconds. Using your chopsticks or a slotted spoon, carefully flip the noodles and fry for another 20 seconds, or until evenly golden brown.
