Get the frying pan on a medium to low heat, add the oil and egg and cook until the top of the white is set but the yolk is still runny.
In a saucepan, heat the water and bring to a boil. Add the noodles and cook till just tender.
Combine soy sauce, white pepper powder, and green onion in a serving bowl. Pour in the boiled water, add the noodles, fried egg and the remaining oil on the frying pan then serve.

For a more flavorful broth, consider using chicken stock in place of plain water.

In the authentic Shanghai rendition, lard is used instead of oil, imparting a distinctive flavor to the dish. This is an option you might want to consider.
