Scallion Oil Noodles

Cook it step by step

1. 1

   Before cooking, read every step, measure all listed ingredients and prepare the cookware named by the method. Wash and dry fresh produce, then prepare it to the size described before heating the pan.

2. 2

   Cut spring onions into dry, even lengths.

3. 3

   Cook them slowly in oil until deeply golden and crisp, then remove.

4. 4

   Add soy sauces and sugar to the warm oil and stir carefully. Mix only until the texture is even, scraping the base and sides of the bowl so no pockets of unmixed seasoning or dry ingredient remain.

5. 5

   Boil noodles until just tender, drain well and toss with the sauce. Start timing only after the liquid returns to a steady boil; check after 5 minutes and continue only until the stated texture is reached.

6. 6

   Top with crisp scallions, garlic and sesame.

7. 7

   Rest the finished food for 3–5 minutes where appropriate, taste for final seasoning and serve while its intended crispness, tenderness or temperature is at its best.
