If there’s one recipe you make this week, it has to be these ginger scallion noodles. It’s been on repeat in my home and my 3rd time having them this week already! The best part about this recipe is that it’s super quick and easy, packed with flavor and only takes 20 minutes to make!
I love using dried knife cut noodles for recipes like this because it soaks up all the flavor from the infused oil. While you can enjoy this as is, you can also add your favorite proteins to make this a heartier meal. I had some leftover chicken thighs laying around so I shredded them up and topped them over the noodles.
