Longevity Noodles with Tofu Seasonal Veggies and Oyster Sauce
Longevity Noodles, also known as Long Life Noodles, represent happiness and longevity and are often eaten during Lunar New Year and other Chinese celebrations. Traditionally, the noodles are never cut or broken by the cook and it is believed the longer the noodles, the bigger the wish for long life. Our take on these classic noodles are packed with healthy veggies and protein packed tofu from local suppliers Tallyho, who make their delicous biodynamic tofu in Kelmscott.

As well as your basic cooking tools, you will need...
Wok
Frypan
Pot
1 Prepare Ingredients
Bring a pot of water to the boil for step 2. Dice tofu, toss in five spice and pepper. Slice cabbage into thick strips. Peel onion and cut into half moons. Cut pak choy into 3cm pieces. Slice carrot into half moons. Slice mushrooms. Finely slice spring onion.
2 Cook Noodles
Add noodles to boiling water, cook for 4-5 minutes until tender. Drain and rinse under water to prevent sticking.
Tip! Be careful not to overcook the noodles as they will make the dish mushy.
3 Stir Fry Veggies
Heat a wok or large saucepan over high heat. Add a drizzle of oil and the tofu. Cook until coloured and crisp on all sides and set aside. Wipe out pan and add a bit more oil. Add the onion, carrot and mushroom and stir fry 2-3 minutes. Add the cabbage and pak choy and cook a further 2 minutes.
Tip! Cooking the tofu until it's crispy adds a delicious textural element to this dish.
4 Finish Noodles
Combine the garlic, vinegar/soy and sesame oil and mix well. Add noodles and tofu to stir fry along with sauce. Stir fry for a few minutes until noodles are hot and sauce clings to the veg and noodles.
