The Easiest 3 Ingredient Sauce
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Aromatic, addictive Ginger Scallion Oil can take your noodles, rice, chicken, and eggs to new levels of deliciousness. Only 3 ingredients, this staple Chinese sauce is easy to make and a gorgeous, fresh, and fragrant sauce to have in your cooking arsenal.
Also! My favorite oil to use for this is peanut (avocado works too) and it keeps in the fridge for 30 days. It might solidify but that’s totally normal.

For the first time last week, I tried hot chili oil from a nearby Chinese spot after watching your videos. I didn't understand the concept of chili oil beforehand, but now that I've had it with a meal... I get it. It adds depth and a layer of flavor to meals that, at this point, I can't go without it. I'm gonna make this to have on hand for my Ethiopian meals, it also uses a lot of ginger and onion, this would work perfectly on top of a nice Kik Alicha.

Chilli oil goes on anything!! What Ethiopian foods are you cooking? Any recommendations apart from kik alicha to cook? There are no Ethiopian, let alone African restaurants where I am and I want to surprise my family with some dishes on a big injera

For some people, sort of like the love for Siracha.
I absolutely love ginger scallion oil. My partner's mom makes a good白切雞(baak cit gai / cantonese "white cut chicken") that tastes so great with ginger scallion oil. There was this麻辣(mala / hot and numbing spice) marinated duck that I had in HK that had a really good flavor and I have been wanting to recreate so I could combine it with a ginger scallion oil, as I think those flavors would work so well together.
Looks delicious! But honestly, just wanna say that you have a beautiful kitchen man. It's so obviously well used, loved, and cared for. I love a good kitchen, and the cooks that care for them :)

What gets me about ginger scallion oil is the scallions never seem to burn. It always looks fresh and delicious.
That looks awesome, thanks for the techniques and thanks for the scallion experiment with commentary
Thankyou for being such an amazing content creator, I love your recipes and I'm making this oil right now as we speak!

This seems like a nice change of flavour profile from the sauce my area normally has in restaurants (just bird eye chili with garlic mixed with soy sauce), might make it for my grandma and try it out when i'm done with the semester! That egg yolk break with the noodles at the end was so nice.

@@RescueNW Turned out well. I added two sliced , dried, medium sized habaneros to the oil whilst it was hot and left them in the liquid. I like my food spicy and this was just right for me. It’s a judgment call based on your spicy preference. What is uncontrollable is the amount of heat in the peppers you use. Grocery store varieties generally more mild than from my garden. I prepared the same volume of oil as Jon. Give it a try. If not spicy enough for you, reheating the oil a little and adding more peppers should not be a problem
Here for it ❤
Mr. Kung: I love watching your episodes. I've learned so much that I never knew before and am very grateful. I was hoping, if you have a moment, to get your advice/opinion on a food sensitivity scenario: My SO cannot have ginger (borderline allergy reaction), but I've heard that galangal is a good substitute. I currently have galangal powder that I plan on using in some soups, could I use that in this recipe? Or would the oil burn the powder? I was thinking maybe using it during the salting process of the scallions. I also have the ability to get dried, sliced galangal from my local store (no fresh galangal locally) that I was thinking I could maybe rehydrate. Thoughts?
@oaktownray510
6 ай бұрын
Well hopefully he can provide an opinion, but I will say if you are absolutely certain that your SO isn't also allergic to galangal root then you could probably substitute that. They are fairly similar. Galangal root is a bit less spicy and sweeter but it's a very similar flavor. In fact I believe it's in the ginger family which is why I would say make absolute certain first. But if it's okay, I wouldn't use the powder. I would maybe try to rehydrate the dried roots. You could also probably order fresh roots online if that's not too cumbersome or pricy.

Your new cook book, can I pre order in the UK?
I guess in food theory the closest Western equivalents would be a fresh pesto or sofritto: aromatics transported by oil. Either way ginger spring-onion and coriander with soy sauce is perfect for fish, lobster and other fresh dishes.
Edit: Well, THIS stuff is amazing! Thank you for the video! I did it with fresh ingredients and added a pinch of sugar and MSG. Would this work to be done with frozen scallions and ginger?

What kind of oil do you usually use for stuff like this? You just say “oil” in the video, and I use olive oil for most my cooking but I know it doesn’t heat as well as what you might need for this.

Why not just add the ginger scallion mixture to the hot oil in the pan after you have taken it off the heat? Would it not cool as fast? Perhaps cook the scallion a little too much?
@jonkung

You run the risk of burning it which ruins the oil. Doing it this way guarantees the perfect timing that rapidly cools the oil so it doesn’t burn the scallions but still cooks the scallions just enough to make them safe to store

@itzmetous

What wasted your time if i may ask? An estimate wouldnt help in this situation because you might like a different ratio of ingredients, or you might be making such a small amount you would need a specific ratio of ingredients. The cooking wine is used like wines when you cook. More often than not you cook it off at high heats but it leaves some flavor/aroma behind. Its also not really a matter of feeding a small village, its just making sure you have it on hand and dont have to make more often. Cooking for things like this and chili oil works best off of feel, and this channel usually cooks based off feeling. You might want to just google blogpost recipes instead of use youtube for recipes in the future because most channels that make pretty good oil/sauces like this do not use measurements, just ingredients, and a knowledge of how they like their food.
