Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 6 scallions (washed, patted dry, and finely chopped)
- 3 tablespoons ginger (peeled and finely minced)
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon regular soy sauce (or light soy sauce)
Instructions
- Prepare aromatics: Finely chop the washed and dried scallions and peel and mince the ginger. Place them together in a heatproof bowl, such as ceramic or metal, and set aside.
- Heat the oil: In a small pot, heat the vegetable or neutral oil over medium heat. To test if the oil is hot enough, insert a wooden chopstick or utensil; bubbles should form around it, indicating readiness.
- Infuse the aromatics: Carefully pour the hot oil directly onto the minced ginger and scallions in the heatproof bowl. The sizzling oil will release the flavors and aromas. Stir the mixture to combine.
- Season the sauce: Add the salt and soy sauce to the mixture and stir well. Allow the sauce to cool to room temperature before using.
Notes
- You can substitute vegetable oil with other neutral oils like canola or grapeseed for different flavor profiles.
- This sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Adjust the amount of ginger or scallions according to your taste preference for a milder or stronger flavor.
- Use this sauce as a dip, drizzle over grilled dishes, stir into noodles, or mix with rice for added umami.
