Opening the noodle dish with onion oil

I remember that the noodle dish with onion oil was a childhood favorite of mine, and that my father used to whip up the family's lunches with the noodle dish in onion oil. The smell of sautéed scallions in a frying pan made me crave it. But the simpler something is, the harder it is to achieve perfection, and this is also true for the noodles with scallion oil.
