According to Chinese tradition, noodles should be served unbroken
during the New Year's celebration because they represent long life.
Soft Fried Noodles
1 lb (450 g) Chinese wheat noodles (dahn min or mi)
or spaghetti, cooked according to package directions
2 Tbs (30 ml) peanut oil
2 Tbs (30 ml) sesame oil
Finely sliced scallions (spring onions), green and white
parts, for garnish
Spread the cooked and drained noodles on a large baking sheet and
allow them to dry at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes. Heat the
oils in a large non-stick skillet over high heat until the oils are
very hot. Add a handful of noodles and fry until golden brown on the
bottom. Turn the noodles and brown on the other side. Repeat with
remaining noodles, adding more oil if necessary and making sure it is
very hot before adding more noodles. Garnish with sliced scallions.
Serves 4 to 6.
