Chongqing Style Mixed Scallion Oil Noodles

I combined my favourite noodles in one: scallion oil noodles x the dry noodles inspired by Hey Noodles. So so good.

What is exactly Chongqing style noodles? It’s a type of noodle dish that is typically spicy (you can also make it non-spicy), and originated as a street food from Chongqing. It can be served in a soup base, or as I like to have it – dry and mixed noodles. You can have it with a variety of different toppings, and adjust it to however you like.

Because I am obsessed with the dry noodles from a place called, Hey Noodles, I decided to create my version of it, but making the base using scallion oil noodles from my super easy and flavourful scallion oil noodles recipe. It completely levelled up the dish, making it taste so so good. I promise you, making that scallion oil for this dish is completely worth it.

For the non-spicy version: omit the chili oil and sichuan peppercorn oil. However, if you can take a little bit of spice, add just a little bit of this spicy mixture to add a nice touch to the dish (highly recommended). Mix everything up and you’ll be hooked instantly.
