Share:
Ingredients
- 6 talk scallions aka spring onion, green onion
- ¼ cup neutral cooking oil
- 2 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 2 teaspoon sugar
- 12 oz dried noodles see note 1
Instructions
Prepare the scallions
- Wash scallions, then pat dry with paper towels thoroughly. Trim off the ends. Cut them into long sections, then halve each piece lengthways.
Infuse the oil
- Pour oil into a wok/skillet, and add the scallions. Leave to fry over medium-low heat. Once the white part of scallions becomes golden brown, take them out with chopsticks leaving the oil in the wok.
Make the sauce
- Turn off the heat and allow the oil to cool for about a minute. Then, carefully pour in the mixture of light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar. Mix and let the remaining heat of the oil dissolve the sugar completely (see note 2 & 3).
Cook the noodles
- Bring plenty of water to a full boil. Add noodles and leave to boil until they’re cooked through.
Assemble the dish
- Transfer the drained noodles to the wok. Stir and toss to evenly coat each strand with the sauce.
- Portion out the noodles into 4 serving bowls, or put them on a large plate for sharing. Garnish with the fried scallions.
Notes
- Apart from the traditional choice of Chinese wheat noodles, feel free to use rice noodles, soba noodles, or even Italian spaghetti.
- If the oil isn’t hot enough and no bubbles appear when you pour in soy sauce and sugar, turn on the heat to heat up briefly.
- You can make the sauce in a big batch and store it in the fridge for 1 month. However, the fried scallions need to be consumed in 3 days.
