Seasoning Guide: Start with the listed baseline amounts, then adjust gradually after tasting. Fine-tune salt, sugar, acid, and finishing oils in small increments.

Mix the Sauce Base
In a mixing bowl, combine light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and white sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves. This sauce will be added to the scallion oil later.

Wash and Cut Scallions
Rinse the scallions thoroughly under cold water and shake off excess. Pat dry with a towel to remove surface moisture — this prevents oil splatter during frying. Cut the green parts into 3–4 cm segments.

Heat Oil and Add Scallions
Pour salad oil into the wok and heat until warm. Add the scallion segments.

Slowly Fry Scallions Until Crispy
Fry slowly over low heat until the scallions turn deeply golden and crispy.

Remove and Set Aside
Lift out the ingredients and set aside.

Let It Rest
Let it rest. Mix the sauce base. Let it rest.

Simmer for 1 Minute
Let the sauce simmer for 1 minute.

Cool Scallion Oil
Turn off the heat and pour the scallion-infused oil into a clean container. Let it cool completely before using.

Boil Fresh Noodles
Cook the fresh noodles in boiling water until done. Optionally add a little cooking oil and salt to the water. Drain the noodles and place in a large bowl.

Toss Noodles with Scallion Oil
Add several spoonfuls of scallion oil to the cooked noodles and toss until evenly coated. Transfer to a serving bowl.

Garnish with Scallions and Serve
Toss the noodles until well combined, then sprinkle with fresh chopped scallions. Serve immediately.
Serving Suggestion
Serve Scallion Oil Noodles as a complete dish while hot.
