Directions
Cut 8-10 pieces of shallots into thin slices.
- Cut 20-25 pieces of scallions into 2 inches long pieces. Separate the white and green parts. Slice the white part lengthwise into strips because they are thick.
- Pour 1 cup + 1/4 cup of oil to the wok. Add the shallot along with 6 slices of ginger, 1 piece of star anise, 2 pieces of bay leaves, 1 small cinnamon stick. Turn the heat to medium - low. Fry them for about 10 minutes or until the shallots are slightly golden.
- Fish out the shallots and use paper towels to absorb the excess oil. Discard the spices and the ginger.
- Add the scallion into the oil. Fry it on medium low heat for 8-10 minutes. Take it out and use paper towels to absorb excess oil. Set it aside.
- You should have about 2/3 cup of oil in the wok. To that, add 1/2 cup of soy sauce, 1/2 cup of oyster sauce, 2.5 tbsp of sugar, 2.5 tbsp of dark soy sauce. Optionally, 1 tbsp of lard. If you don’t have pork lard, you can use a tbsp of butter. Heat it on low heat for 2 minutes and the sauce is done.
- Cook some noodles and season with this sauce. Top the fried shallot and scallion onto the noodles. Enjoy!
