Anyhoo, after making these noodles we were left with the oil used for frying the spring onions and shallots. And discovered to our delight how utterly fragrant and yummilicious this infused oil was!
Ever since then we've kept a jar of either spring onion or shallot infused oil in our kitchen at all times! Today we're making Shallot Infused Oil 红葱油, a subtly sweet, garlicky and oniony fragrant oil that we use to drizzle over finished dishes to add that final extra flavor layer or simply to make the most delicious stir fry with. Oh man, oh man what a game changer this shallot infused oil is!
