SCALLION OIL NOODLES RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Cut scallions crosswise into thirds, separating dark green parts from white and pale green parts. Slice lengthwise into very thin strips, keeping dark green and white parts separate.
• Pour oil into a cold large wok or high-sided skillet. Add white parts of scallions to oil and set over medium-low. Cook until oil starts to bubble, about 5 minutes. Add dark green parts of scallions and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until scallions are crisped and deep golden brown, 20–30 minutes. Do not rush this; slow, gradual browning as the liquid in the scallions evaporates will yield the best flavor.
• Using a spider or slotted spoon, transfer scallions to paper towels to drain. Let scallions and oil cool. Pour oil through a fine-mesh sieve into an airtight container; discard solids. Cover and chill scallion oil until ready to use.
• Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling water according to manufacturer’s directions, adding 1 Tbsp. reserved scallion oil to the cooking water when you add the noodles. Drain noodles, reserving ½ cup cooking liquid, and return to pot. Add ½ cup scallion oil and toss to coat. Add soy paste and toss to combine. Add soy sauce and toss again, adding cooking liquid as needed to loosen sauce.
• Transfer noodles to a bowl or platter and top with three-fourths of crispy scallions. Serve with remaining scallions in a small bowl alongside.
• Do Ahead: Scallions can be fried 1 day ahead. Keep scallion oil chilled; store scallions between layers of paper towels in an airtight container at room temperature.

Steps:

• Cut the green onions into sections around 5-8 cm long. Add garlic clove into pieces and cut 4 slices of ginger.
• Add oil in a wok, add garlic, scallion white and ginger along with the oil. Heat over high fire until the white part becomes slightly browned. 
• Add green onion sections. Simmer until the green onion section becomes crispy and browned. 
• Remove from heat and then add 1 tablespoon of Sichuan peppercorn. Let the remaining heat from the oil motivating the aroma.  Then cool down. 
• Cook the noodle and then soak in clean water.  Drain completely and then add 1.5 tablespoons of the scallion oil. Mix well.
• Add the basic sauce in. Mix well.  This is for 2 servings of noodles.  And lastly, top with crispy scallion. Optionally, drop 1 teaspoon of Chili oil. Serve directly.
