Chinese Scallion Oil recipe
Report
Chinese scallion oil is one of the 'mother sauces' of Chinese cuisine, and incredibly easy to make with fresh green onions and vegetable oil. The oil has a fragrant, light onion flavor you're going to want with everything from stir frys to scrambled eggs.

Ingredients
- 12 scallions or about 2 bunches
- 2 cups neutral vegetable oil such as canola, sunflower, soybean, or peanut. If you can get your hands on roasted canola oil, that's what I used. I bought my roasted canola oil here.

Instructions
- Trim the scallions and cut into 3 inch pieces.
- Put the oil and the scallions into a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Once the oil is bubbling, continue cooking over very low heat for about 15 minutes, just until the scallions start to turn golden. Don't cook too far or they will become bitter.
- Let the oil cool completely off the heat, and then strain into a clean jar. You can add a few fresh scallions to the jar, if you like.
- Refrigerate and use within 3 weeks if just the oil. If you added fresh scallions to the jar, use within 1 week.
blended variation
- After the oil has cooled completely in step 4, you can blend the oil with the scallions. Strain, and bottle as above. Refrigerate and use within 1 week.
