Recipe Notes
I used Taiwanese fresh noodles. It's labeled as Fresh Shanghai Noodles or Fresh Noodles. In Chinese, it's called "阳春面."
If you're health-conscious, use less oil (2 - 2 1/2 tablespoons). The noodle tastes the best with 3 tablespoons scallion oil.
I made these noodles as a side to Coquille St. Jacques. They were awesome.
Awesome!
Should the scallions be removed after cooking?
Yes you can remove.
