Shanghai Scallion Oil Noodles (Cong You Ban Mian)
A classic Shanghai comfort food, these noodles are tossed in a fragrant scallion oil made from both the white and green parts of scallion, shallots, and garlic, then seasoned with soy sauce and a hint of sugar. The result is a bowl of chewy noodles coated in savory, aromatic oil, topped with crispy scallions.
