Critical Success Points

  • Dry scallions thoroughly before frying to avoid oil splatter.
  • Fry aromatics over low heat to prevent burning.
  • Do not over-fry green scallion parts; remove as soon as browned.
  • Do not overcook noodles; they should be chewy.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can splatter and cause burns—dry scallions thoroughly before frying.
  • Add soy sauce to hot oil carefully to avoid splatter.
  • Keep children away from stove during frying.
