How it's used
Often served at birthday banquets or wedding dinners, these noodles symbolize longevity due to their long, unbroken strands. Unlike many other noodle dishes that are served in soup, this version is stir fried with mushrooms and chives to absorb the savory sauce. It is considered a classic staple of Cantonese banquet cuisine.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with regular stir fried noodles, as the texture of the e-fu noodles is distinctively soft and spongy rather than chewy or firm.
