These easy scallion oil noodles are so much more than the sum of their parts. With just 6 simple ingredients, the scallions (or green onions) really are the star of the show here. Fried until golden and crispy, the flavor is deep, savory and aromatic (but without the pungency of raw green onions).
This is the perfect satisfying store cupboard supper and is ideal when you want dinner on the table within 15 minutes!
Ingredients:
- 10 green onions, finely chopped
- 3-4 tablespoons of canola oil (or other neutral oil)
- 3 tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 3 teaspoons Chinkiang black vinegar
- 2 nests of noodles of your choice
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions:
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan until it is very hot.
- Add the green onions and stir fry until they are a deep caramel brown, just shy of burning. Transfer to a small bowl.
- In the meantime, cook the noodles according to the package instructions and drain well.
- Put the soy sauce and black vinegar in a large bowl and mix well.
- Add the cooked noodles and top with the spring onion oil and toss until thoroughly combined.
- Divide between two bowls and scatter the top with sesame seeds.
