Tips and Pitfalls
Utilize Canned Abalone Brine
The canned abalone brine carries rich umami; simmering it with sugar and scallion oil creates an exquisite sauce.
Aromatic Shallot Oil
Adding fried shallot oil to the sauce coats the noodles smoothly with irresistible roasted aroma.
Al Dente Noodle Texture
Check the noodles as soon as loosened in boiling water; drain immediately to keep a springy bite.
Dual Scallion Garnish Layers
Combining raw fresh scallion shreds with fried golden scallions delivers crisp freshness and toasted crunch.
