Instructions
Preparation
Start by thoroughly cleaning the green onions under running water. Slice them into thin rings, separating the green tops from the white bases.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and fry a portion of the sliced white onion rings until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain excess oil on a paper towel.
Sauce and Noodles
In the same pan, pour in the scallion-infused oil, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and salt. Stir and let simmer for 3-5 minutes.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the white wheat noodles according to package instructions, around 6-8 minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water.
Transfer the drained noodles into the pan with the sauce and toss gently for 1-2 minutes, ensuring each strand is well-coated.
Serving
Plate the Scallion Oil Noodles into serving bowls, topping with the crispy fried onion rings and reserved green onion tops.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for optimal flavor. Adjust soy sauce and sugar to your taste. Consider adding cooked protein for a complete meal.
