  • 100g dried noodles (1 serving)
  • 3 scallions (whites and greens separated)
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp dark soy sauce (optional, for color)
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • A pinch of salt

Steps

  1. Cut scallion whites into segments and greens into fine slices.
  2. Warm oil on low heat and fry the whites until golden, then turn off the heat.
  3. In a bowl mix soy sauces, sugar, salt, and scallion greens; pour in the hot oil.

Notes

Fry the oil slowly — burnt scallion tastes bitter. Add vinegar or chili oil if you like. Difficulty: ★
