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.

Notes

I used Taiwanese fresh noodles. It's labeled as Fresh Shanghai Noodles or Fresh Noodles. In Chinese, it's called "阳春面."

If you're health-conscious, use less oil (2 - 2 1/2 tablespoons). The noodle tastes the best with 3 tablespoons scallion oil.
