Scallion Oil Noodles — 葱油拌面
Cuisine: Chinese · Origin: Shanghai China
Scallion Oil Noodles (葱油拌面) is a beloved Shanghai comfort dish featuring soft wheat noodles coated in fragrant scallion-infused oil. The dish's magic lies in the preparation of the scallion oil itself: green parts of scallions are slowly infused in hot oil until they release their aromatic compounds and turn golden-brown, creating a deeply savory condiment. The cooked noodles are tossed with this precious oil along with soy sauce, salt, and sometimes a touch of sesame oil, then garnished with crispy scallion pieces. Popular as a quick lunch or light dinner throughout Shanghai, it exemplifies the Chinese culinary philosophy of extracting maximum flavor from minimal ingredients. The dish gained renewed popularity in recent years as a symbol of authentic Shanghai street food culture, often served in casual noodle shops and hawker stalls across the city.
Standard serving: ~435 kcal (1 bowl (300g), estimate)
This humble Shanghai street food became famous partly through social media, with food bloggers praising its deceptive simplicity—just noodles, scallion oil, and soy sauce can create profound umami depth when the scallion oil is properly charred and fragrant.
