Classic Roasted

We’re firmly on board with listening to nutritionists—that’s part of why we set out to make a better-for-you chicken sausage. We eat our vegetables. We value protein. We’re doing our best. But we also respect the wisdom of our elders. And if generations of Chinese grandmas tell us that eating extra-long noodles tossed with sauce, vegetables, and chicken will help us live longer… well, we’re listening.

Longevity noodles—also known as changshou mian—have been a Lunar New Year staple for centuries. According to tradition, slurping on extra-long noodles symbolizes a long, prosperous life. Our version leans into that idea with Classic Roasted Chicken Sausage as a lighter, cleaner protein, paired with umami-rich mushrooms, garlic chives, and a simple, savory sauce built on sesame, soy, and oyster sauce. Will they make you live forever? The science is still out. But they’re easy, deeply satisfying, and absolutely worthy of a regular spot in your rotation—and if you happen to make it to 120, you can say you did it deliciously.

Make the sauce: In a small bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients and set aside.

Cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the noodles, stirring to separate, and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Cook the sausage and vegetables: While the noodles cook, heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a large sauté pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and mushrooms and cook for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly browned. Stir in the garlic, adding a little more oil if needed, then add the Chinese chives and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, just until wilted.

Serve: Divide among shallow bowls and serve immediately, then get ready for a long, prosperous life.
