Ingredients
  

  • 250 g la mian noodles
  • 150 g minced pork season with salt & pepper
  • 10 stalks spring onion/scallion cut into short lengths
  • ½ yellow onion sliced
  • 100 ml peanut oil more if you prefer

SAUCE

  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 2 tsp sugar

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepot over medium-low heat, fry spring onion and yellow onion in peanut oil. Once the yellow onion becomes brown and spring onion becomes dark brown, remove them and set oil aside. If you want to keep some scallion oil for future use, add more peanut oil when frying.
  • In the same saucepot, add ingredients for the sauce and cook until sauce bubbles up and sugar dissolves. Set sauce aside.
  • In the same saucepot, add 1 tbsp of oil and stir fry minced pork until no longer pink. If you prefer, add some sauce to the minced pork to give it some colour. Remove minced pork and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, bring a big pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook according to instructions on the package (or until the softness you prefer). Drain noodles and rinse briefly with tap water.
  • Portion noodles into 2 separate bowls, then top off with minced pork, fried spring onion and fried onion. Spoon scallion oil and sauce over noodles according to your liking, then toss everything together and enjoy! You can start with 2 tbsp of oil and 1 tbsp of sauce, then add more if needed.
