Shanghai Scallion Oil Noodles
Shanghai Scallion Oil Noodles
This recipe is the authentic version of scallion oil noodles that you would find in Shanghai, China. You pretty much fry green onions in oil and remove them when crispy. What you also end up making is oil infused with green onion essence. Add the soy sauces and sugar to the hot oil and it’s done in 30 seconds. Instead of stir frying the noodles in the pan with the sauce, the noodles are placed in a bowl and the sauce is spooned over. Then you top the noodles with the crispy fried green onions. Simple, but nothing short on flavor.
