10-Min. Easy Ginger Scallion Sauce (5 ingredients!)
Fragrant ginger scallion sauce made with fresh green onions, ginger, and savory seasonings. This easy ginger scallion sauce recipe uses just 5 ingredients and is ready in 10 minutes. I pour hot oil over the ginger and scallions to gently cook them and bring out their aroma.
Ingredients
- 6 scallions wash, pat dry, finely chop
- 3 tablespoon ginger peeled & finely minced
- ¾ cup vegetable oil or any neutral oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon regular soy sauce or light soy sauce
Instructions
- Transfer finely chopped scallions and finely minced ginger to a deep, heatproof bowl, such as ceramic or metal, keeping them in separate piles. Set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a small pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). The oil should be shimmering but not smoking. If you don't have a thermometer, insert a wooden chopstick into the oil and look for small bubbles forming around it.
- Carefully and slowly pour the hot oil directly over the ginger first, then over the scallions. The aromatics should sizzle as the oil hits them. Stir to combine.
- Add the salt and regular soy sauce, stirring until evenly combined. Let the sauce cool to room temperature before serving.
Notes
Storage
- Refrigerator: Store cooled ginger scallion sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks. Let it sit briefly at room temperature before serving if the oil has solidified. Always use a clean, dry utensil when scooping to avoid introducing moisture or contaminants.
- Freezer: Divide cooled ginger scallion sauce into an ice cube tray and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw as many cubes as needed overnight in the refrigerator.
