Ginger Scallion Sauce
Description
Ingredients
- 2 large bunches scallions, very thinly sliced (about 2 cups), divided
- ⅓ cup minced fresh ginger (5-inch knob)
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic (2 cloves)
- ½ cup grapeseed oil or other neutral oil
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice or sherry vinegar
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon honey*
- ¾ teaspoon salt
If serving with noodles:
- 1 pound package dry rice noodles
Instructions
- Combine two-thirds of the scallions, ginger, and garlic in a medium bowl.
- Heat oil in a small saucepan over high until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Pour hot oil over scallion mixture; it will sizzle, turn bright green, and wilt.
- Let mixture rest 5 minutes then stir in remaining scallions, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, sesame seeds, pepper, honey and salt.
- Let sauce rest 15 minutes; season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
If serving with noodles:
- Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and toss with desired amount of scallion sauce. Divide noodles among bowls. Top with sesame seeds and serve with chili oil on the side (optional).
Notes
Store scallion ginger sauce in a glass airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
