This is my favorite Chinese cold noodle dish! At first glance this noodle dish seems unbelievably simple, just fried spring onions topping noodles mixed with soy flavored sauce. But when made right it's also unbelievably yummilicious!
So much so that I always, always order this noodle when we go to Shanghai restaurants. The sucky thing is that these days this noodle dish is badly made in the many restaurants and comes out tasting meh. Which it shouldn't, cuz made right this Shanghai Spring Onion Scallion Noodles 葱油拌面 is absolute noodle perfection, the flavor of the fried onions intense, caramelized and delightfully chewy crispy and the al dente noodles just coated with heavenly flavor combo of sweetened soy and spring onion infused oil.
So what is a girl to do if she can't get her noodle fix at the restaurants? That's right, we make it at home now, just the way we like it! It's actually a pretty easy to make dish once you get the hang of it.
