Scallion Noodles

Scallion Noodles
  • Prep Time:  5 mins
  • Cook Time: 10 mins
  • Servings: 2 People

Ingredients

  • 150g noodles (ramen, egg noodles, or your favorite type)
  • 1 tbsp Kun Taste Aromatic Soy Sauce
  • A handful of fresh spinach or bok choy
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp sesame oil (optional, for extra nuttiness)
  • Optional garnish: chopped scallions, sesame seeds

 

Cooking Instructions

  1. Cook the Noodles:   Boil noodles according to the package, then drain.
  2. Blanch greens: In the same water, quickly blanch the spinach for 30 seconds, then drain.
  3. Fry the egg: Cook a sunny-side-up egg in a small pan—a soft yolk is preferred for the sauce.

  4. Fry the Egg: While the noodles are cooking, heat a small non-stick pan over medium heat. Fry an egg to your liking—a sunny-side-up egg with a runny yolk is highly recommended, as the yolk will create a creamy, delicious sauce.

  5. Assemble the Bowl: Drain the noodles and greens well. Place them in a serving bowl. Add the Aromatic Soy Sauce and sesame oil (if using). Toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated.

  6. Serve: Top the noodles with the fried egg. Garnish with chopped scallions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if desired. For the full experience, break the yolk and mix it into the noodles before eating. Serve immediately.


Pro Tips

  • Don’t Overcook the Noodles: Cook the noodles until they are al dente (still have a slight bite). They will continue to cook a little from the residual heat.

  • The Runny Yolk is Key: The magic of this dish is the combination of the savory soy sauce and the creamy, rich egg yolk. Don’t be shy about letting that yolk run!

  • Add Some Protein: For a more substantial meal, add some leftover shredded chicken, pan-fried tofu, or edamame

  • Stir the noodles before eating so the egg yolk mixes with the soy sauce to create a creamy texture.

  • If the noodles feel too dry, add a tablespoon of the noodle cooking water.

  • For a spicy kick: add a drop of Crispy Chili Oil.
