1. 1Step 1: Bring a large pot of hot water to the boil, then boil the longevity noodles as per the directions on the packet – probably around 3-4 minutes; take care not to over-cook them, as they’ll go mushy when you fry them – then drain the noodles and set aside.
2. 2Step 2: Dissolve the sugar and salt in a tablespoon of boiling water, then combine with the sauces and sesame oil in a measuring jug.
3. 3Step 3: In a large, round-bottomed wok, heat the oil then stir-fry the mushrooms, chives and spring onions for two or three minutes.
4. 4Step 4: Transfer the noodles to the wok, along with the sauce mix, distributing evenly across the noodles, then stir-fry gently for a minute or two, just enough to combine everything well and ensure an even colour, taking care not to break the noodles. Add more sesame oil if dry or clumping.
5. 5Step 5: Serve immediately, garnishing with additional chives or spring onions/scallions.
