Ingredients

Ingredients for Scallion oil

3 shallots: The star of the show providing a sweet and mild onion flavor.
1 bunch scallions green onions: Perfect for those who want a mild onion flavor without the sharpness.
1/2 cup neutral oil such as grapeseed, coconut, or avocado oil: Allows the ginger and scallions to shine.
2 tablespoons soy sauce: Adds a savory element and seasoning.
1 teaspoon salt: Enhances the flavors of the ingredients.
Sugar or Monkfruit optional

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients

Dice and Chop:

Finely dice the shallots.
Chop the scallions, separating the white and green parts.
Place the white parts of the scallions into a small bowl.

Make the Scallion Oil

Combine and Mix:

Add soy sauce and salt to the bowl with the scallions. Mix well.

Heat the Oil:

Heat the neutral oil in a small saucepan over medium heat for about 3 minutes. To check if the oil is hot enough, place the handle of a wooden spoon or chopstick into the oil—if it bubbles vigorously, it’s ready.

Infuse the Oil:

Carefully pour the hot oil into the bowl with the shallots and scallions. Watch out for splatters! Enjoy the satisfying sizzle and let it cool for a few minutes.

Finish and Store:

Once slightly cooled, stir in the green parts of the scallions. Let the mixture cool completely, then transfer to a clean jar or sealable container and store in the fridge.
