Friday, July 14, 2023

 




Ingredients

 2 1⁄2 cups thinly sliced scallions (greens and whites, from 1–2 large bunches)

 1⁄2 cup finely grated peeled fresh ginger

 1⁄4 cup grapeseed or other neutral oil

 1 1⁄2 tsp. light soy sauce

 3⁄4 tsp. sherry vinegar

 3⁄4 tsp. kosher salt, plus more to taste

 6 cups (1 lb.) cooked ramen noodles

This ginger scallion noodle recipe, adapted from Momofuku: A Cookbook, by David Chang and Peter Meehan, pays homage to one of one of the most celebrated restaurant dishes in New York City: the $6.95 "lo mien with ginger and scallions" at Great N.Y. Noodletown in Manhattan's Chinatown district.

Ginger scallion sauce is a mother sauce for Chang, who uses it often at his restaurants. You should too: Stir a few tablespoons into a bowl of hot noodles, drizzle it over rice topped with a fried egg, or use it as a condiment for grilled meat or seafood.

Instructions

STEP 1

In a large bowl, stir together the the scallions, ginger, oil, soy sauce, sherry vinegar, and salt. Cover and refrigerate at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 days.

STEP 2

When ready to serve, add the hot noodles to the bowl, toss well to coat with the sauce, and serve immediately.
