Ingredients

  • 100 g fresh ginger, finely minced
  • 100 g scallions, finely chopped
  • 100 ml vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Steps

  1. In a small pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat (about 160°C) until shimmering, but not smoking.

  2. Add the minced ginger and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

  3. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the chopped scallions, salt, soy sauce, and sesame oil, mixing well.

  4. Let the sauce cool to room temperature before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Why this works

Ginger Scallion Sauce is a vibrant combination of fresh ingredients that enhances many dishes. The technique of heating the oil allows the ginger to release its oils and flavor quickly, which is then infused into the scallions. This method also ensures that the rawness of the ginger is tempered, creating a balanced sauce. If the oil is too hot, it can scorch the ginger, leading to a bitter sauce; if this happens, simply reduce the heat or add a bit more fresh scallions to dilute the bitterness. The salt in the sauce helps to extract moisture from the scallions, intensifying their flavor while also providing a necessary contrast to the ginger's sharpness. Allowing the sauce to cool allows the ingredients to meld together, ensuring a harmonious blend of flavors. This sauce is versatile and can be served over grilled meats, stir-fries, or as a dip.
