Nowadays I’m all about quick meals. I don’t know about you, but I’m getting pretty sick of my own cooking during this quarantine. I’m constantly looking for exciting dishes but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen either. So I started to think about my favorite dishes that I discovered while traveling and remembered these green onion noodles in Taiwan. They were incredibly simple, just noodles tossed in scallions and lard, but they were insanely delicious. To make a quick version, I made scallion oil noodles topped with a fried egg. It’s a healthier version of what I had in Taiwan but still very delicious.
