Hello! Hi everyone, Wesley here. Today we're diving back into our series dedicated to foods from TV and film with the scallion noodles from the film Everything, Everywhere, All at Once. For those living under a rock that somehow have still not yet seen this movie, the premise of this scene is that Evelyn is frantically throwing together a quick and easy meal for the family, which is pretty clearly some form of scallion noodles. Scallion noodles are a noodle dish of Chinese origin that features scallions or green onions that have been slow simmered in a low temperature oil to draw out their aromatic qualities, then tossed together with a round lo mein noodle. This makes for a flavorful, aromatic two ingredient noodle dish that almost every Chinese kid has had at some point in their childhood because of how easy it is to make.
This of course means that there is a LOT of room for us to play around too so, for our version today we're going to do a sesame "dan dan" inspired noodle in which the aromatic scallion oils are combined with a little bit of sesame paste to yield a thick and creamy sauce to coat our lo mein noodles. Then to pair with this (because...why not), since we are already making an aromatic oil today, I thought we might also explore a wider range of aromatic spices that can be used with some star anise, Sichuan pepper, coriander, cinnamon and Tian Jin pepper or in other words, my personal favorite five spices to use in a Chinese five spice blend. Hope you try it.
