Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 stalks Green onions
- 3 tablespoons, finely minced Fresh ginger
- 0.5 cups Neutral oil (e.g., vegetable oil)
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Sesame oil
Instructions
Wash the green onions thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Trim the ends off the green onions and finely chop them, both the green and white parts. Transfer to a heatproof bowl.
Finely mince the fresh ginger and add it to the bowl with the green onions.
Sprinkle the salt over the green onions and ginger, then mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Heat the neutral oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat for about 2–3 minutes, until the oil is shimmering but not smoking. You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of green onion into it; it should sizzle immediately.
Carefully pour the hot oil over the ginger and onion mixture. The hot oil will cook the ingredients slightly and release their flavors. Be cautious, as the mixture will sizzle and bubble.
Stir the mixture thoroughly to combine, allowing it to cool slightly. Add the sesame oil and stir again.
Let the sauce sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately as a topping or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
