Happy Year of the Sheep! Today is the beginning of Chinese New Year... and even though I'm not Chinese, I plan on celebrating with this Salmon & Kumquat Yakisoba Noodle Recipe.  In my book, you can never have too many holidays that involve food, right???

So what exactly does one make to celebrate the Year of the Sheep? The choices are wide open since there is really no standard dish that one must eat - and one of the many reasons I love Chinese New Year!!! Although there aren't any required dishes, there is a long list of foods that have symbolic meanings and I decided to pack as many of them as possible into this Salmon & Kumquat Yakisoba Noodle  Recipe.  Bok Choy  for prosperity, yakisoba noodles for long life and  kumquats for  good fortune and gold. Since  I am always looking for kumquat recipes, I decided to include kumquats - and I highly recommend you include them. If you can't find them, thinly sliced tangerines would also work!

Prosperity, long life and wealth? If this sounds like a winning recipe, it is - and this Salmon & Kumquat Yakisoba Noodles Recipe is an ideal dish for a celebration since it's incredibly easy to prepare, especially if you use Melissa's Produce Yakisoba noodles - no boiling required.

But what exactly are Yakisoba noodles?

• Noodles made with wheat instead of buckwheat.
• Relatively "new" noodle - first appeared in Japan in the early 1900's.
• Generally prepared as a stir fried noodle.

So I wish you all a very happy Chinese New Year filled with Prosperity, long life and wealth!

Aren't these kumquats beautiful? If you'd like to see more kumquat recipes, check out this Kumquat and Ginger Sparkler!
