Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Fresh ginger
- 6 stalks Scallions (green onions)
- 120 milliliters Neutral cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil, canola oil)
- 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
Instructions
Peel the fresh ginger and finely mince it. Alternatively, you can use a microplane grater to grate the ginger into a fine texture.
Wash the scallions thoroughly and pat them dry. Trim off the roots and any wilted ends, then finely chop both the white and green parts.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the minced ginger, chopped scallions, and kosher salt. Mix well to distribute the salt evenly.
In a small saucepan, heat the neutral oil over medium-high heat until it is shimmering but not smoking. To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of scallion into the oil—it should sizzle immediately.
Carefully pour the hot oil over the ginger and scallion mixture in the bowl. Be cautious as the oil will bubble vigorously upon contact with the ingredients.
Stir the mixture thoroughly to combine the ingredients. Let the sauce cool to room temperature before serving.
Use immediately or transfer the sauce to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
