Symbolizing longevity and health, noodles are always left whole. Breaking or cutting a long strand of noodles is considered bad luck. Nourish a long life with a longevity noodles dish. The longer the noodle, the longer the life, as Chinese legend dictates, so be sure to slurp instead of cutting or breaking them.
