    E-FU Noodles with Roast Duck Recipe

    Every Lunar New Year, my family welcomes an abundance of happiness, good health and fortune with a truly extravagent Chinese banquet. A favourite of the children is the classic Peking Duck (北京烤鸭) served two ways. The first course is always the duck skin wrapped in thin Mandarin Pancakes (春饼), while the remaining duck meat is used as part of a second course.

    One of my favourite ways to enjoy the meat is with e-fu noodles. This Chinese noodle recipe is so phenonemal that I’ve brought it home to share with you (restaurant secrets included)! 

    In our kitchen, we use Chinese roast duck rather than peking duck simply because it’s easier to obtain, but the celebrated quality remains the same.

    After your first bite, you’ll taste that the duck’s spices have melted into the noodles. You’ll appreciate how enjoyably chewy the e-fu noodles are because they’ve soaked up every savoury drop of wok flavour.

    This is a truly magnificent dish to welcome the new year!

    What is E-Fu Noodle?

    E-fu noodles

    E-fu noodles are made of egg and wheat and are known as yi mein (伊面) in Cantonese. Our family eats this noodle almost exclusively at Chinese New Year banquets, partly because of the tradition behind the it.

    Yi mein is popularly known as ‘longevity noodle’, symbolsing the promise of long life when eaten. For this reason, it makes a common appearance during birthdays and the new year.

    It’s characterised by its flatter shape and has a signature chew that makes it even more suited to its long life symbolism. 

    You can find e-fu noodles in Asian supermarkets packaged in a circular, nest-like shape. 

    What makes the e-fu noodle eating experience abundantly more unique is that they are deep fried before packaged so when it’s cooked, there’s an extra layer of flavour!

    Don’t you just want to get your hands on some? I know I do!
