Author Notes
Practically bare naked, the scallions are completely transformed into sweet bits of caramelized umami by the frying, and believe me (for your own benefit) when I say that this is simplicity at its best. —Coco et Cocoa

Ingredients
-
1/2 cup
neutral flavoured oil, such as avocado or rice bran
-
1 bunch
scallions, thinly sliced
-
2 packets
fresh ramen or thin udon noodles
-
1 teaspoon
fine sea salt
-
1 pinch
ground white pepper
Directions
-
Heat the oil in a saucepan until hot and shimmery. A piece of scallion dropped in should bubble vigourously. Tip in all of the scallions at once and fry, stirring occasionally, until well browned and crisp. This will take about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the salt and pepper.
-
Cook the noodles as directed on the package. Rinse under hot water and drain thoroughly. Toss the noodles with the fried scallion oil and serve immediately!
