Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fresh ginger, finely minced or grated
- 1 cup scallions, thinly sliced (green and white parts)
- 1/2 cup neutral oil (canola, grapeseed, or vegetable oil)
- 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
- Optional: 1/2 tsp sesame oil
- Optional: 1 tsp soy sauce
- Optional: 1 tsp rice vinegar
- Optional: 1/4 tsp red chili flakes
Instructions
- In a heatproof bowl, combine minced ginger and sliced scallions.
- Stir in salt and any optional ingredients like chili flakes or soy sauce.
- Heat the neutral oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking (about 1–2 minutes).
- Carefully pour the hot oil over the ginger-scallion mixture. It should sizzle immediately. Stir to combine.
- Let the sauce cool slightly before using. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Notes
- Use freshly grated ginger for the boldest flavor.
- For a nutty aroma, add sesame oil after the hot oil is poured.
- Allow the sauce to sit for a few hours before serving for deeper flavor.
- Stir before using if refrigerated, as oil may separate.
- This sauce is not meant to be frozen as the texture may change.
