Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 6 green onions (white and green parts, finely chopped)
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh ginger (finely grated)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup neutral oil (canola, vegetable, or grapeseed oil)

Instructions

  1. Combine aromatics: In a small bowl, combine the chopped green onions, grated ginger, and salt. Stir well to distribute the salt evenly throughout the mixture.
  2. Heat oil: Heat the neutral oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until it reaches about 300-350°F and is nearly smoking. To test, drop a small piece of green onion into the oil—if it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.
  3. Pour oil: Carefully pour the hot oil over the ginger and green onion mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine the ingredients and release their flavors. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
  4. Cool sauce: Allow the sauce to cool completely at room temperature, which will take about 15-30 minutes. Once cooled, transfer it to a jar for storage. The sauce can be served warm or chilled, according to your preference.

Notes

  • Use fresh ginger and green onions for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the salt to your taste preference.
  • Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point to avoid burning.
  • The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • This sauce pairs well with dumplings, grilled meats, noodles, and steamed vegetables.
