Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the dried noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped scallions and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, or until they become fragrant and slightly wilted.
- Add the light soy sauce and dark soy sauce to the pan with the scallions, stirring well to combine and heat through.
