LONGEVITY NOODLES WITH CHICKEN, GINGER AND MUSHROOMS
During Chinese New Year, long noodles are eaten in all corners of China. "Longevity noodles," also presented at birthday celebrations, are never cut or broken by the cook, and if they can be eaten without biting through the strands, it's considered even more auspicious. Longevity noodles are usually stir fried, presenting challenges to the home cook. Noodles should be stir-fried alone and lightly oiled so that they don't clump together in the wok, and all ingredients must be completely dry so they sear properly.

REFRESHING GINGER CHICKEN WITH SPINACH & MUSHROOMS
This Thai-inspired dish features two of my favorite ingredients: fish sauce and ginger. If you are salt "intolerant," then decrease the amount of each sauce ingredient to two tablespoons instead of three. I'm not a fan of saltiness myself, but I tend to like salty Thai food (like Thai Basil Chicken, which this dish resembles).

Steps:
- Slice each chicken thigh into 2 or 3 large chunks, then put in a bowl with the ginger, garlic, chilli powder, half the coriander, lime juice and 1 tbsp of the oil. Stir well, then cover and leave in the fridge to marinate until ready to cook. For the best flavour, do this in the morning or, better still, the night before.
- Peel and quarter the onions, then very finely chop them in a food processor; for a curry you want the onion really fine. Heat the remaining oil in a wok or large frying pan, then add the onion and stir-fry for about 8 mins until soft. Stir in the turmeric and cook for 1 min more, stirring well.
- Tip in the chicken mixture with the marinade and cook over a high heat until the chicken changes colour. Pour in the coconut milk, add the chilli and stock, then cover and simmer for 20 mins until the chicken is tender. Stir in the remaining coriander, then serve with pilau rice, a bowl of mango chutney - we like Geeta's - and some poppadoms or naan bread.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help the cooking process go more smoothly.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ginger and mushrooms will give your dish the best flavor. If you can't find fresh mushrooms, you can use dried mushrooms, but be sure to soak them in hot water for at least 30 minutes before using.
- Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a Wok or Large Skillet: A wok or large skillet will help you get a nice sear on the chicken and vegetables. If you don't have a wok or large skillet, you can use a regular frying pan, but you may need to cook the chicken and vegetables in batches.
- Add the Sauce Gradually: Add the sauce to the chicken and vegetables gradually, stirring constantly. This will help prevent the sauce from clumping.
- Serve Immediately: Ginger mushroom chicken is best served immediately, while it's still hot and fresh. You can garnish the dish with green onions or cilantro.
Conclusion:
Ginger mushroom chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. With its savory sauce and tender chicken, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner, you'll find that ginger mushroom chicken is a great recipe to add to your repertoire.
