Ingredients

3 tablespoons cooking oil
10 scallions julienned
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
3 tablespoons dark soy sauce
3 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar

Instructions

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the scallions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes.
Use a slotted spoon or fine-mesh sieve to remove the scallions from the oil. Transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Leave the infused oil in the skillet.
Reduce the heat to low. Add the ginger, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, and sugar to the skillet. Stir and let the mixture bubble gently for about 2 minutes.
To serve, toss with cooked noodles.

Notes

1. If you don’t have dark soy sauce, you can use all light soy sauce, but the flavor and color will be lighter.

2. For a little heat, add a teaspoon of chili crisp or a few dashes of chili oil at the end.

3. Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat before using.
