Notes
Avoid cutting the noodles when possible, as long strands traditionally symbolize longevity and good fortune.Toss cooked noodles with a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.Add proteins such as chicken, shrimp, tofu, or beef for a more filling meal.Extra vegetables like broccoli, snap peas, cabbage, or baby corn work well in this dish.Adjust the sauce with chili paste or red pepper flakes if you prefer a spicy version.
