Scallion Oil Noodles
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons cooking oil
- 2 stalks scallion, roots trimmed and cut into strips
- 8 oz (230g) fresh noodles
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
Instructions
- Heat a wok with the cooking oil until it begins to smoke. Add the scallion strips and stir continuously with a spatula until the scallions are aromatic and moderately burned. This process will release the full fragrance of the scallions and infuse the oil with their intense aroma. Set aside the scallion oil.
- Heat a pot of water until it boils. Cook the fresh noodles until al dente; they should be cooked through but still somewhat firm and springy. Drain the noodles and transfer them to a bowl.
- Add the scallion oil, oyster sauce, and soy sauce to the noodles. Using a pair of chopsticks, toss the noodles to blend well with the scallion oil and sauces. Serve immediately.

Made the recipe as presented but used the entire bunch of scallions and both my wife and I loved it. Also ate them with some leftover creamy chicken florentine and that was excellent as well. Looks like we have a new goto noodle recipe! Can’t wait to use this in more dishes.
Awesome! So glad you liked the recipe.
I made these noodles as a side to Coquille St. Jacques. They were awesome.

Should the scallions be removed after cooking?
