Step 1
Slice scallions into 2-inch pieces, separating white/light green bottoms from dark green tops.
Step 2
Heat neutral oil in a small saucepan over medium until it shimmers, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add scallion bottoms to the oil and cook until they turn golden brown and fragrant, 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Remove from heat. Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil. Set the scallion oil aside to cool slightly.
Step 5
Boil salted water in a large pot. Add noodles and cook until just tender, following package time.
Step 6
Drain noodles in a colander, shaking well to remove excess water.
Step 7
Transfer noodles to a serving bowl. Pour scallion oil over top and sprinkle salt and white pepper.
Step 8
Toss noodles until coated evenly. Top with reserved dark green scallion pieces and serve immediately.
