Welcome to my kitchen, today I'm cooking braised seafood noodles with mushrooms and yellow chives.

Review the ingredients: evoo noodles (longevity noodles), yellow chives, green onions, shimeji mushrooms, seasoning salt mix, garlic, chicken broth, white miso paste, white pepper, moisture sauce, shaoxing wine, sesame oil, and soy sauce.

Mince the garlic.

Section the green onions by cutting them down the middle and into 2-inch sections. The yellow chives are already cut into 2-inch sections.

Boil a pan of water to soften the noodles, which are already cooked. It will take no more than 30 seconds to soften them up.

Once the water is boiling, turn off the flame and reserve one scoop of the cooking liquid.

Strain the noodles and rinse them under cold water.

Turn the heat back up on the pan and add a generous amount of oil.

Add the shimeji mushrooms and yellow chives to the pan and sauté until cooked.

Remove the mushrooms and chives from the pan, leaving the flavor in the pan.

Add white pepper, sesame oil, moisture sauce, shaoxing wine, and white miso paste to the pan to dissolve. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Let the mixture come back up to a boil, then add the noodles back to absorb the miso sauce, turning the heat to medium-high.

Return the mushroom and chive mixture back to the pan with the green onions and continue cooking, mixing gently with large serving forks.

Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil before serving.
