Easy Scallion Soy Noodles

These Scallion Soy Noodles are so delicious and easy to make. They’re great for a tasty vegan lunch or dinner. You need just a few ingredients that are easy to find at most grocery stores.

I’ve always loved quick and easy recipes, but I’ve been feeling even more drawn to them lately. Everybody wants to eat delicious food, but nobody wants to spend their whole night in the kitchen. These Easy Scallion Soy Noodles take about 25 minutes to make, and they’re great for lunch or dinner.

I’ve always loved scallions and use them as garnishes for tons of my meals, but this might be the first time I’ve used them as a main ingredient. These scallion noodles get some flavor from the boil that the scallions are cooked in and are delicious!

Easy Scallion Soy Noodle Recipe Ingredients

• Noodles – Any kind of noodles can be used for this recipe, but Asian-style noodles work the best. I used a package of Chinese noodles I bought at the regular grocery store. You could use rice noodles, soba noodles, ramen noodles, or even a spiralized veggie noodle.
• Oil – You want to get a neutral-flavored oil to fry the scallions in. I used an organic safflower oil, but any other neutral-flavored vegetable oil will work.
• Scallions – Scallions and green onions have slight differences but can be used interchangeably in recipes. So, you can use either one! The recipe uses the entire scallion, so chives are not a suitable substitute.
• Garlic – I didn’t want any flavors that would overpower the scallions too much, but I love garlic, so I had to add some. I used one large clove, but you can use as much as you like.
• Soy Sauce – You can use soy sauce, tamari, or liquid aminos for this recipe. An addition of dark soy sauce would be great, too, but I didn’t have any.
• Pure Maple Syrup – Sugar is usually used in these types of recipes, but I like to use pure maple syrup, and it works great. Honey also works well.
• Toasted Sesame Oil – A little toasted sesame oil adds lots of delicious flavor to these noodles.
• Toasted Sesame Seeds – I like to mix in some toasted sesame seeds at the end because they add a nice texture, and I love their flavor.
• Chili Crunch – I like to use the chili onion crunch from Trader Joe’s, but I’ve seen many other brands sold at regular grocery stores. I like adding the chili oil and the chili crunch, but you can use chili oil alone if that’s all you can find.
• Salt – There is soy sauce in the recipe, but I like to add a little bit of salt at the end.

How To Make Delicious Scallion Soy Noodles

1. Start by cooking your noodles according to package directions. I cooked my noodles for about 5 minutes, drained them, and then rinsed them under cold water for about 30 seconds.  Set rinsed noodles aside until ready to use.
2. Wash the scallions and then cut the super green top parts off.  Separate the tops and the whiter bottoms. Separately, julienne both parts of the scallions and then cut them in half.
3. Heat a large pan over medium heat and add your neutral-flavored oil. Add in the whites of the scallions and stir around. Turn heat to low and cook scallions until browned, 12-15 minutes. Next, add in the scallion greens and the garlic. Stir together and cook for another 5 minutes or so.
4. Add the cooked noodles to the pan with the scallions, and then add the soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and maple syrup. Let everything cook together until the sauce has cooked into the noodles, about 5 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
5. You can stir in the chili crunch and toasted sesame seeds or top each individual bowl with them. Fresh scallions are also a great garnish!
