Egg Scallion Oil Noodles

Fry the egg last so the yolk stays runny and enriches the noodles when you break it in.

Steps

How to make it

Prep 6 min · Cook 9 min

  1. Chop 2 scallions into greens and whites separately. Mix 2 tbsp soy sauce with scallion whites and 1 tbsp olive oil into a base sauce.
  2. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook 1 serving fresh oil noodles per package time until springy (about 2–3 minutes); drain well.
  3. Toss noodles quickly with the base sauce until every strand is coated with scallion oil.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium. Add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Crack in 1 egg and fry over low about 2 minutes until whites are set and yolk is still soft-set.
  5. Plate the noodles, top with the fried egg, and scatter scallion greens; break the yolk into the noodles when you eat for the best flavor.

Tips & storage

Make it easier

  • For fully set yolk, flip and fry 30 seconds more.
  • Spread chilled rice or cooked noodles before cooking so they separate instead of clumping and take on sauce evenly.

Best fresh; egg and noodles decline overnight.

FAQ

Can I use two eggs?

Yes—more protein; bump sauce slightly.

Can I prepare this ahead of time?

Yes. Refrigerate the cooked starch and toppings separately, then reheat and combine just before serving for better texture.
