Servings 12
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup neutral oil , such as vegetable, grapeseed, or sunflower
- 5 or 6 scallions (green onions), root end removed, chopped fine
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon ginger paste (or finely minced ginger root)
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce or soy sauce*
- pinch of sugar
Instructions
- In a small pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until the surface shimmers. Do not wait until it begins smoking.
- Place the chopped scallions in a large, heat-proof bowl and sprinkle the salt over the top. Give everything a toss.
- Carefully pour the hot oil over the scallions. It will bubble and sizzle.
- Stir in the ginger, fish sauce, and sugar until well combined.
- Let the sauce cool. Cover the bowl — or transfer the sauce to another container — and store in the refrigerator.
Notes
*Soy sauce will make the condiment vegetarian. You could also use sesame oil — maybe start with a teaspoon, as it's a strongly flavored oil.
