Notes
Storage
Store scallion ginger sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 to 2 weeks once it's cooled. Before enjoying, let it sit at room temperature so the oil liquifies. Or microwave in a heatproof bowl at 15-30 second intervals or reheat on the stovetop until warm.
Scallion ginger sauce can be frozen for up to 2 months for longer storage. To freeze, let the sauce cool completely, then equally divide it in an ice cube tray. Transfer the frozen cubes to a freezer-safe bag. When ready to use, thaw at room temperature or reheat in the microwave for 15–30 seconds, or on the stovetop until warm.
