How to cook it
-
Cut the scallions into 2-inch lengths, keeping white and green parts together.
-
Heat the oil in a small pot or wok over medium heat and add the scallions.
-
Fry gently, stirring occasionally, until the scallions turn deep golden brown and crisp at the edges and the oil is fragrant, about 12 minutes; lower the heat if they start browning too fast.
-
Scoop out the crisped scallions and set them aside, keeping the infused oil in the pot.
-
Stir the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar into the scallion oil and warm through 1 minute.
-
Meanwhile, boil the noodles until just tender, then drain, reserving a splash of the noodle water.
-
Toss the hot noodles with the scallion oil sauce, adding a splash of the reserved water if needed to loosen.
-
Top with the crisped scallions and serve immediately.
