Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound fresh uncooked lo mein noodles
  • 3 scallions (halved lengthwise and cut into 2-inch/5cm lengths)
  • 3 tablespoons neutral oil
  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons oyster sauce

Equipment

  • Medium pot
  • Wok

Method
 

  1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Prepare the scallions and measure out your sauces in separate bowls.
  2. Take the noodles out of the package and loosen them. Drop them into the boiling water, and cook for 45 to 60 seconds. Drain and set the noodles aside.
  3. Heat a wok over medium-high heat until it smokes. Spread the oil around the wok. Add your scallions, and toss them a few times. Push the scallions to the side of the wok, increase the heat to high, and add the soy sauce to the oil. Let it sizzle and start caramelizing.
  4. Add the oyster sauce, and let both sauces fry for about 20 seconds. Add the noodles, and toss them to distribute the sauce. Serve immediately.
