Today is the first day of the Chinese Lunar New Year – Celebrating the year of the Fire Rooster! This annual celebration is marked with a variety of foods that have symbolic meanings. Eating longevity noodles during the feast will help ensure a long life.
But not just any noodle will do! Longevity noodles are very, very long (a single noodle in fact!) and served unbroken. An egg noodle that is firm but elastic, it is cooked and then stir fried or served in soup. It is also tossed in sesame oil, as this recipe is. Not only easy to make, but delicious!
Making the Longevity Noodles
This recipe is so easy – and uses only five ingredients – including the garnish!
Bring the broth, 1 Tablespoon of the oil and the five spice powder to a boil.
Cook the noodles until they are al dente.
Drain and toss with the remaining oil and green onions, then sprinkle sesame seeds over the top. You can also return them to the broth and eat them as a soup.
NOTE: You can purchase longevity noodles at most Asian markets or on line.

Other foods to eat that are said to bring luck are fish (prosperity), dumplings and spring rolls (wealth), sweet rice balls (family togetherness), kumquats (fullness and wealth, but must be eaten whole and served with leaves attached!), a red beverage (symbolizes luck and fortune).
Have a 新年快乐 (Happy New Year)

This little bird is neither a game bird or a hen. Game hens are commercially raised, young chickens and can be a hen or a tom. They have tender meat and look a bit fancy on the plate! So here is a quick and easy way to cook and serve them!
How to Do it:
Cut each hen in half lengthwise. Sprinkle half the salt on pepper on the inside of each half. Turn. Drizzle the skin side with olive oil, then evenly sprinkle the remaining salt and pepper over it.
Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and cook for about another 45 minutes to an hour (or until internal temperature in the thigh reaches 170 degrees). Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. There should be no pink left in the meat. Be careful not to over cook or it will dry out – it should be fork tender and moist!
Serve with rice. Pour the dripping over the rice and the bird at serving. There is very little fat in the hens, so the dripping are almost all olive oil with the seasonings.
Makes 4 servings
