Ginger and Scallion Sauce – The Essential Chinese Green Sauce for Everything

This is the ultimate green sauce—ginger and scallion gently sizzled in oil until mellowed and aromatic, then salted just enough to make anything you spoon it on instantly better. From poached chicken to fried rice, steamed fish to noodles, this sauce brings bold flavour with minimal effort. We show you how to get the ratio right, how to cut your aromatics for maximum flavour release, and how to balance heat with finesse. 0:00 - Introduction 0:26 - Mincing the Ginger 1:03 - Mincing the Scallions (The Diamond Cut) 2:21 - Cooking the Sauce My friends refer to this as the green sauce. We almost always have some in the fridge. The combination of minced ginger and scallions creates an extremely versatile condiment that complements everything, from steak to salad. And it’s great fun to prepare, provided you have a sharp knife. I prefer to mince the ginger manually, but if you prefer, you can delegate this task to a food processor. Just ensure you retain some texture, as you don't want the ginger to scorch in hot oil. However, I would strongly advise against using a grater for this; unfortunately, that's a surefire way to end up with burnt ginger. As for the scallions, they need to be sliced by hand to prevent bruising. You don't necessarily have to follow the diamond-cut method shown in the video. I used it because I find it almost therapeutic, and it worked well for the camera. Your goal is to mince them as finely as possible. In traditional Chinese restaurants, they pour hot oil over the mixture. While this produces decent results and is more efficient for service, if you have the time, I've discovered that a two-step approach yields superior outcomes. Start by sautéing the ginger before adding the scallions with the stove turned off. This way, you can better control the amount of ginger's spiciness you want to evaporate. Ingredients Ginger White parts of scallions Salt Vegetable oil (You should aim for a 2:1 scallion to ginger ratio after mincing.) Directions 1. Mince the ginger. 2. Mince the white parts of the scallions without bruising them. 3. Heat a saucepan over high heat (induction 8) and add the vegetable oil. 4.

Add more vegetable oil if desired. ____ Follow us on Instagram:   / w2kitchn   #W2Kitchen #chinesesauce
