Reasons to adore this recipe
This ginger scallion sauce is my preferred choice for enhancing plain rice, chicken, noodles, or eggs instantly. So effortless, so delicious, and it’s compatible with all cuisines, not just Chinese (Cantonese) dishes.
It’s vibrant, umami-rich, with a slightly nutty essence from the sesame oil (optional), and profoundly aromatic due to the ginger and scallions.
I’ve been preparing this for quite a while, yet I hesitated to share it because of its simplicity. However, simplicity doesn’t equate to being basic. This sauce merits a spot in your kitchen. Once you experience it, you’ll realize why I’m ready to share it.
I also appreciate that the recipe proportions can be customized to match your preference. I tend to use more green onions than ginger.
Ingredients you’ll need
Green onions (commonly known as scallions or spring onions)
Fresh ginger
Vegetable oil: Can be swapped with any other neutral cooking oil
Toasted sesame oil
MSG (optional yet suggested)
Salt to taste
Steps to create ginger scallion sauce
Finely dice the scallion, including the white section. (Some tears may occur during this process, but trust me, it’s all worthwhile.)
Grate the ginger finely using a microplane or chop it minutely.
Incorporate the ginger and scallions into a heat-safe bowl. Add salt and MSG (if applicable), and mix to blend.
Warm the vegetable oil over medium heat until it’s hot but not smoking. Check the oil with a wooden skewer: dip it into the hot oil, and if it bubbles at the tip, it’s ready.
Carefully pour the oil over the ginger and scallions. It should sizzle right away. Add the sesame oil and stir to combine.
Use it immediately or let it sit for several hours to enhance the flavour.
