How I Feel About This Scallion Lard Noodles
The other day, I made pork lard, and today I’m excited to cook with it. I’ve decided on noodles because they’re quick and easy—just about 10 minutes to prepare. I also have some knife-cut noodles on hand. Though this dish doesn’t contain meat, it’s packed with rich pork flavor from the lard, and the scallions make it even more aromatic.I’m inspired by scallion oil noodles, another traditional noodles from Shanghai, which I’ll introduce on a later page. My dad, a big fan of noodles, really enjoys this dish. While it’s not a classic Chinese noodle recipe, it’s definitely worth trying!
Original Name
- Translated English Name: Scallion Lard Noodles
- Original Chinese Pronunciation: Cong You Zhu You Mian 葱油猪油拌面
Note: You may use the Chinese name to order in China because the translated English name of the dishes might be different in every restaurant.
Cooking Tips
- When adding soy sauce to the lard, make sure the heat is low to prevent splattering.
- Since lard can catch fire easily, be sure to use a medium-sized wok or pan—avoid using a small one.
