This is an easy 30-minute, 10-ingredient, 1 large pan or pot Vegan Longevity Noodles  recipe for Chinese Lunar New Year that has baby bok choy, shiitake mushrooms and green onions with a sweet hint of sesame and garlic.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Sesame oil
  • 5 cloves of garlic, roughly minced
  • 1 inch (about a tablespoon) piece of rinsed ginger unpeeled and roughly minced
  • 8 green onions, green parts cut into 2–3 inch length and white parts sliced small
  • 1.5 tablespoon of organic light brown sugar
  • 172 g or about 6 oz of frozen sliced shiitake mushrooms  (For me this is a little over half a bag)
  • 4–6 fresh baby bok choy (7.45 oz or 211g), leaves separated and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, plus more to taste
  • 300g of dried thin Asian wheat noodles
  • Optional: Chinese chili oil (store-bought is fine or you can make your own)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large sauté pan or large pot to medium heat. When hot, cover the bottom with a quarter inch of sesame oil.
  2. When oil is hot, add the garlic, ginger, light brown sugar and green onions. Stir to make sure the oil is distributed evenly and let cook for 2-3 minutes or until aromatic.
  3. Add the frozen mushrooms and soy sauce and cook until everything is just covered with soy sauce. If mushrooms don’t extract water, add 1/4 cup of water to the pan.
  4. Add the baby bok choy and let steam in the fully covered pan for 2-3 minutes.
  5. When done, taste and add soy sauce if needed. Move the mushroom and baby bok choy sauce to a large plate or bowl.
  6. Without rinsing the pan, add enough water to cook the noodles according to their instructions.
  7. When the noodles are done, drain and run under cool water for ten seconds.
  8. Return noodles to the pan and pour the mushroom and baby bok choy sauce over the noodles.
  9. Gently mix and add soy sauce to taste. 
  10. Serve without breaking any of the noodles.

Notes

  1. Please use the soy sauce to taste. This should not be a bland dish. The soy sauce will help enhance the other flavors in the dish. If you don’t season it properly, then that’s not my fault. Ha!
  2. If you cannot use soy sauce because are gluten-free or have some other intolerance, use tamari or coconut aminos at your discretion.
