Super Easy and Flavourful Scallion Oil Noodles
Super convenient meal that's packed with a umami and savoury flavour.
Ingredients
Scallion oil
- 100 g scallions
- 3 shallots (sliced)
- 2 pieces of thinly sliced fresh ginger
- Neutral cooking oil (for frying)
Scallion oil soy sauce mixture
- 4 tbsp scallion oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 2 tsp sugar
Assembling
- 2 servings of noodles
- 2 fried eggs
Instructions
Scallion oil
- Start by patting dry the scallions (very important or else oil will fly out crazily when frying). Cut scallions into 2-inch pieces.
- Add the ginger, shallots, and ONLY the white and light green parts of the scallion stalks to a pot/wok. Pour just enough oil to cover them. Turn the heat to medium-low and let it sizzle for around 10 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside.
- Add in the green parts of the scallions and fry for 5 to 10 minutes, keeping a close eye on them so they don’t burn (throw out any burned pieces). Remove the scallions from the pot/wok and set aside with the fried ginger and shallots. Don’t throw this out! It makes a good topping for your noodles.
- Sieve the scallion oil and let cool. It can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
Soy sauce mixture
- In a saucepan/pan over low heat, mix all the ingredients together until the sugar has dissolved. Pour equally into bowls.
Assembling
- Cook your favourite noodles according to package instructions.
- Add the drained noodles to each bowl, and mix with the scallion oil soy sauce mixture.
- Top off with some of the fried scallions/shallot/ginger from before, along with a fried egg (highly recommended)! Enjoy!
