Cold Noodles with Green Onion Oil 葱油凉面
Green onions are always must-buy when I do grocery shopping. They add flavor to dishes and are great for garnish. Green onion oil is easy to make, and it smells and tastes great in noodles or salad. You may make a bigger batch by doubling oil and green onions. It can be stored in refrigerator for days. Enjoy this cold noodles, and hope they cool you off 🙂
