easy tasty vegan scallion green onion chinese noodles quick

Scallion Oil Noodles, known as Cong You Ban Mian in Chinese, is a really simple Shanghai dish of noodles tossed in seasoned scallion-infused oil. It’s a heartwarming meal that’s perfect for any time of the day, be it breakfast, lunch or dinner (or even tea time! Guilty as charged).

Aromatic & Flavorful Scallion Oil Noodles Recipe

I love how easy it is to prepare the noodles, but it’s still packed with savory flavor. Simmering the scallions on medium heat over 10 minutes might be a bit of a wait, but trust me, it’s so worth it! The process extracts the aroma from the scallions which completes this mouth-watering noodle recipe.

To make this perfect noodles even better, I personally love topping it with a good old fried egg.

This is the first part for my veganuary series, where I share vegan-friendly recipes.

Notes for Easy Scallion Oil Noodles

  • Adding garlic is optional. Traditionally, garlic is not used but I like a little bit of garlic flavor.
  • Doubling the recipe: Instead of doubling the dark soy sauce, just add 2 tbsp of the dark soy sauce. Dark soy sauce is used more for the color.

Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats I’m a savory kind o Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats 
I’m a savory kind of girl and have always preferred my oatmeals savory. Some people think it’s weird, I say don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. The best part? You can be creative with this! I’ve added pesto to my oatmeal before and it was delicious.
I also prefer a thicker oatmeal, add more water if you don’t. 
Would you try this or are you sticking to your sweet oatmeal? 😋
