Noodles (or pasta) is tossed in savory sauce and aromatic and easy homemade scallion oil. The cong you ban mian recipe can be easily customized to your liking too.
Pour cooking oil on a medium pan and heat over medium heat. Add scallion and let them fry over medium heat until they are dark brown, but take care not to burn them. Remove the scallion from the oil with tongs and set aside. You can include the scallion in the noodle or discard, or leave them in the oil. Mine was a tad too brown and so I didn't include them in the noodles
Add the seasonings to the oil and cook until sugar melted and the oil bubbles. Remove from the heat
