A recipe for delicious and aromatic spring onion oil noodles, served with Chashu pork and boiled egg, optionally.
For a guide on how to make Chashu pork, see here.
The spring onion oil is made by infusing the spring onion into the oil by cooking it in the oil in a wok for 40 – 45 minutes.
Spring onion is also known as scallions or green onion. The spring onion is first cut into approximately 5cm long pieces, then cleaned under running water and pat dry with paper towel.
The white pieces of spring onion are cut in half vertically and cooked for 10 minutes in the oil prior to the rest of the spring onion being cooked.
They are cooked first to avoid overcooking parts of the spring onion.
During cooking, the spring onion will slowly turn brown.
When brown, finish making the spring onion oil, by adding soy sauce and sugar and mix, before turning the heat off the wok.
A whole spring onion bunch, or 8 spring onions are used, so there with be enough oil and browned spring onion to store some in a jar in the fridge after this meal to use when you make this recipe again.
We used dry thin egg noodles when making this recipe, but any noodles can be used.
After cooking the noodles according to packet directions, divide them into serving bowls and add 2 tablespoons of spring onion oil to each bowl and stir, then top with a small bunch of browned spring onion.
Serve noodles with spring onion oil and with Chashu pork and egg on the side, optionally.
