Chinese Scallion Oil Noodles (vegan)
These classic Chinese scallion oil noodles are simple, yet so delicious. They are a staple in most Chinese households and only take a few ingredients to make. The noodles are coated in a soy scallion oil and topped with fried scallions.
To make scallion oil noodles, you need to julienne the scallions and then fry them in a neutral oil. I love using avocado oil since it can withstand high heat. Once the scallions get all golden brown and crispy, remove and set aside. Then add the soy sauce and sugar to the oil and toss the noodles into the oil. Top noodles with some fried crispy scallions and you got yourself a quick and easy meal.
I love to eat these noodles with some fried tofu and bok choy on the side. It’s simple, yet so flavorful. The kids love it too. It’s the perfect easy weeknight meal when you don’t feel like cooking.
