Scallion Noodles With Ground Pork Recipe: Thinly sliced fried scallions add bold flavour to this savoury dish
Hindustan TimesThe Shanghainese dish called ‘cong you ban mian’ combines wheat noodles with fried scallions, the flavourful oil they fry in and salty-savoury soy sauce. Dried Asian wheat noodles about the size of thin spaghetti work well in this recipe; non-instant dried ramen is a good choice, as are thin lo mein noodles.
