With its roots in Buddhist tradition, this dish can be found on the tables of many Cantonese families on the first day of the Lunar New Year. While bean thread noodles are a must, you can use a variety of veggies. This version’s earthy flavor comes from rehydrated mushrooms combined with napa cabbage, snow peas, carrots and baby corn.

Longevity Noodles with Spicy Pork & Vegetables

Christine Han

Serve this spicy pork-and-vegetable lo mein for Chinese New Year or for dinner anytime. While some cooks like to cut the noodles into 6- to 8-inch lengths to make them easier to combine with other ingredients, for the New Year the noodles can never be cut because that symbolizes bad luck. The longer the noodles, the longer your life!

Brothy Ginger-Soy Noodles with Turkey & Bok Choy

This dish was inspired by Chinese Dan Dan noodles—ground pork and noodles in a spicy broth. We use ground turkey and omit the traditional Sichuan peppercorns for convenience, but add hot sesame oil.

Zha Jiang Noodles

The name of this flavor-drenched dish aptly translates to “fried sauce noodles.” A pork- and tofu-flecked sauce gets its savory powers from three layers of distinctive soy condiments. Tossed with thick wheat noodles, the result is satisfying and quite comforting.

Vegetarian Lo Mein with Shiitakes, Carrots & Bean Sprouts

A hit of Sriracha gives a sweet and spicy edge to this healthy vegetarian recipe. Traditional lo mein is made with fresh lo mein noodles, which can be found in Asian markets. This easy dinner comes together in just 30 minutes, so it’s perfect for weeknights.

Long-Life Noodles with Beef & Chinese Broccoli

Noodles are a key part of Chinese New Year celebrations because they symbolize long life. We love this recipe for the tradition because it’s super-customizable based on your tastes.

Dan Dan Noodles with Spinach & Walnuts

In this riff on Sichuan dan dan noodles, spinach and red bell peppers are tossed with a sesame-chile-soy sauce and topped with walnuts. If you want to bump up the protein, add tofu, seitan or even chopped egg.

Spicy Tofu Hotpot

Warm up a chilly evening with this light but satisfying one-pot meal. The tofu absorbs the flavors of this fragrant, spicy broth, making it anything but bland.

Crispy Egg Noodles with Tofu & Peanut Sauce

This peanut-tofu noodle dish is inspired by chow mein, a Chinese American dish featuring fried noodles. Pan-crisping the noodles here mimics the crunch of the traditional dish, but limits the saturated fat.

Sichuan Ramen Cup of Noodles with Cabbage & Tofu

The Sichuan province in the southwestern corner of China is known for its fiery dishes. Here, the richness of tahini tempers the spicy chile paste in this cup-of-noodles-style mason jar soup. This vegan cup soup is packed with 19 grams of protein to keep you satisfied until your next meal.

Classic Sesame Noodles with Chicken

Sesame noodles become a satisfying meal with lean chicken and tons of veggies in this quick, healthy noodle dish.

Slow-Cooker Tofu Lo Mein

Crisp-tender veggies cooked in a sweet sauce and served with noodles and tofu is a refreshingly different slow cooker dinner.

Stir-Fried Chinese Egg Noodles

Though the chewy texture of Chinese egg noodles is fantastic, you can substitute rice sticks or linguine. Omit or decrease the amount of chile paste if serving to kids.
