It is Chinese tradition to eat noodles, ideally "longevity noodles," on your birthday to symbolize your wish for a long and happy (carb-filled) life. So naturally, a big bowl of noodles in broth with a hearty pile of roast duck, char siu pork, and Chinese kale was waiting for me when I arrived at my parent's home. Everything really hit the spot and a great start to the weekend.
Enjoy!
