- 5 stalks Green Onions (chopped into thin batons; reserve some for garnish)
- 3 tablespoons Avocado Oil (neutral‑flavored oil; can substitute grape seed oil)
- 0.25 pound Capellini (also called angel hair pasta; can substitute spaghetti, udon, or ramen)

Instructions
Prepare Aromatics
Thinly slice 2 garlic cloves and chop 5 green onion stalks into thin batons.
Time: PT5M
Crisp the Scallions
Heat 3 Tbsp avocado oil in a non‑stick pan over medium heat. Add the chopped scallions and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp (about 6‑8 minutes).
Time: PT7M
Temperature: medium
Remove Crispy Scallions
Transfer the crispy scallions onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Boil the Noodles
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook 0.25 lb capellini for about 1½ minutes (half the package time) until al‑dente.
Time: PT6M
Temperature: boiling
Drain and Dry Noodles
Drain the noodles in a colander and spread them on a clean surface to let excess moisture evaporate.
Time: PT2M
Build the Sauce
Wipe the pan clean, return it to medium heat, add a little more oil if needed, then add the sliced garlic, 1 Tbsp broad bean paste, 1 tsp cane sugar, 1½ Tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp dark soy sauce. Stir and cook for 2 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes glossy.
Time: PT2M
Temperature: medium
Combine Noodles and Sauce
Add the drained capellini to the pan, tossing quickly to coat each strand. Cook for another 2 minutes so the noodles absorb the sauce.
Time: PT2M
Temperature: medium
Plate and Garnish
Transfer the sauced noodles to a serving plate, sprinkle the reserved crispy scallions and toasted sesame seeds on top.
Time: PT1M
