Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Scallion Oil Noodles
  1. Start by thoroughly washing and drying the scallions. Finely chop them, separating the green tops from the white parts.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the white parts of the chopped scallions and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy.
  4. Remove the fried scallions and pour the infused oil into the bowl with the sauce mixture. Stir well.
  5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the wheat noodles according to package instructions until tender but still chewy.
  6. Drain the noodles and return them to the pot or a large mixing bowl. Pour the scallion-infused oil and sauce over the hot noodles.
  7. Toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated. Sprinkle the crispy fried scallions on top.
  8. Serve warm, enjoying the delightful aromas and flavors.
