Ginger Scallion Sauce
One of my ESSENTIAL Chinese condiments is this sensational ginger & scallion sauce. An unassuming yet intensely flavourful little recipe. It's the perfect spoonful of flavour over so many Chinese dishes and even just dolloped over plain rice. It's a must-have for any Chinese dinner table.

Notes
- Serving: Ginger Scallion Sauce works with so many Chinese recipe. Try it over eggs, especially my recipe for chicken egg foo young (visit cookeatworld.com for that recipe).
- It's great served as a dressing for noodles, rice and dumplings too.
- Storage: In the fridge, I generally keep mine for up to 2 weeks in a airtight container or jar. I don't freeze it, it doesn't work.
