- 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.

Notes
- Use fresh ingredients, choose fresh green onions, the vibrant green tops of scallions and firm, aromatic ginger for the best flavor and will enhance the sauce.
- Chop the ginger to finely minced. Personally, I like to use a chopper. Not only is it faster, but also ginger is finely minced.
- Put minced ginger, green onion into a bowl and add salt.
- Heat up some oil in a pan. After, pour the hot oil over and mix well. Be careful with the hot oil, especially when you pour over green onion and ginger. If the oil is not hot enough, it cannot cook the green onion and ginger. Also, the flavor will not come out.
- 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 400 F.
