Shanghai Scallion Oil Noodles上海葱油拌面 [shàng hǎi cōng yóu bàn miàn], originates from Shanghai. Usually this is a dish for the regular home cooking, a sort of 家常菜 as Chinese people like to say. In fact, you just need shallots, spring onions, soy sauce and some other basic pantries. You can either enjoy this for breakfast like some locals in China do, powered by a fried egg to increase the protein intake, or go for it to inspire your next Chinese-inspired lunch or dinner. We personally believe that this dish is so representative of the Shanghainese Cuisine, 沪菜 or 本帮菜, with its combination of sweet and savory taste profiles, coupled by the most beloved umami taste. This dish is not just easy to make but it is also incredibly tasty as it takes the scallion flavor to the moon, giving this dish an exceptional umami sensation. Finally, we suggest you prepare this into bulk and save it into jars for later use.

[1] INGREDIENTS:
•Wheat noodles (125g)
•White sesame seeds (pinch)
•Black sesame seeds (pinch)
•Vegetable oil (rapeseed oil a plus) 250ml
•Water (enough to cook the noodles, and rinse them)
•Sesame Oil (1 tbsp)
•Shallots (5 or 6 pieces)
•Spring onions (5-6 pieces)
•Egg (1)
•Dark soy sauce (2 tbsp)
•Light soy sauce (4 tbsp)
•Sugar (1tbsp)
[2] PROCESS:
Preparation:
[1] Divide the green parts of the spring onions from the white ones.
[2] Chop finely your shallots and set aside.
[3] Fry the eggs, sunny side up for the best result.
[4] Oil into the pan (rapeseed oil if you have) and wait until it gets hot (not smoking hot).
[5] Get the shallots inside and gently stir them until golden.
[6] Add in the white parts of the onions and keep stirring.
[7] Scoop all the onions and shallots out, then place the green leaves inside the oil.
[8] Once the leaves start to brown, scoop them out and set aside.
[9] Season the aromatic oil with our soy sauce (both light and dark), while adding a bit of sugar
as well.
[10] Wait until things start to boil, and the sugar has completely melted down, and place back
the green leaves inside switching off the heat.
[11] Place the aromatic oil into some jars for later use.
Cooking:
[1] Get some hot water into a wok.
[2] Add in some sesame oil, a pinch of salt, then place your noodles and wait for the water to
boil.
[3] Whenever it boils, add in some cold water to protect the noodles from breaking into pieces
(we did this 3 times before the noodles where fully cooked).
[4] Scoop them out and get them into an empty bowl.
[5] Season them with the magic scallion oil (as much as you like but 4-5 tbsp should be ok).
[6] Add the fried egg on top and garnish with some sesame seeds, black and white.
