Yi Mein Inspired Longevity Noodles

with Portobello Mushrooms, Spring Onion and Crispy Onions

Longevity noodles, also known as yi mein, symbolise a long and prosperous life, often found at celebratory Chinese banquets. Traditions dictate that these noodles can't be cut by the chef and each strand needs to be eaten whole - no breaking it before you eat it or you'll risk bad luck!
