Instructions
Cook the Noodles
Cook noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water until just tender according to package directions, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large heatproof bowl. Drizzle with a bit of sesame oil to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Aromatics
While noodles cook, combine sliced scallions and minced ginger in a large heatproof bowl. Add soy sauce over the top and have everything ready before you heat the oil because timing is critical.
Blaze the Oil
Heat neutral oil in a small saucepan over high heat until it begins to shimmer and just starts to smoke, about 2 to 3 minutes. The oil must be very hot to properly bloom the aromatics and create the signature sizzle.
Sizzle and Toss
Carefully pour the blazing hot oil directly over the scallions and ginger and listen for the dramatic sizzle. Immediately add sesame oil and toss the mixture together. Pour the finished ginger scallion oil over the noodles and toss thoroughly to coat.
