It was Shanghainese spring onion oil noodles that catapulted Emma Chung to TikTok success four years ago.

"It's a fragrant oil that you make by frying spring onions and mixed with noodles, it's really easy! It's five ingredients in the whole dish," says the now Hong Kong-based chef and content creator. "I just casually posted, not even telling anyone."

Chung, 28, who posts under @iam.chungry, had spent her life in food already though, working as a recipe developer for a food box company and teaching at London's School Of Wok.
