Ginger Scallion Sauce
Ginger Scallion Sauce blends finely minced fresh ginger and green onion with salt, combined with hot vegetable oil poured over the mixture to release flavors. The result is a fragrant, slightly spicy and savory sauce that brightens rice, noodles, and steamed dishes. The technique of pouring hot oil cooks and infuses the aromatics, yielding an intense fresh taste with a gentle warmth.

- The following step, put the chopped green onion from step 3 into the bowl and add 1 teaspoon of salt.
- After that, in a pan or pot heat up ½ cup of vegetable oil. Make sure the oil is hot enough before pouring over the ginger and green onion. (You can dip a wooden chopstick into the oil, if you little bubbles around the chopstick it means the oil is hot. Or, you can use a thermometer to measure the temperature around 400F.)
- Be careful when you pour the hot oil over the ginger and green onion. Then, mix it well.
