Scallion oil sauce 葱油 and 3 easy ways to use it without noodles!
AuthorYun Zhang JohnCategoryMeat, VegetablesDifficultyBeginnerI’ve always known about scallion oil sauce…it’s like Chinese teriyaki sauce. Mostly salty, a little sweet and very very fragrant. Of course, the most famous application of this sauce being the Scallion Oil noodles. But it wasn’t until recently that I’ve really discovered the versatility of this intensely aromatic sauce. I had a lot of it left over from making Scallion Oil Soba noodles, and in an effort to use it up, I started adding it to a bunch of things that weren’t noodles.
Lo and behold! They totally worked!
Completely customisable
Not only did this sauce work wonders to add a deeply savoury note to the food, but its flavour profile can be changed by adding just one extra ingredient. For example, squeeze in some Sriracha sauce to it and make it spicy to stir into some egg fried rice, or drizzle in some honey and turn it into a glaze for wings or even ribs! The possibilities are numerous for this “all-purpose” soy sauce based sauce.
Long lasting and Easily stored
And the long shelf life also add to its versatility. Make a big batch and it can stay safely in an air tight container in the fridge for several weeks. This way, you will always have a flavour enhancer on hand to be use as a quick marinade or to jazz up some plain stir fry veggies on a week night. And don’t forget, it also works great on noodles!
So why not pick up some extra scallions next time you are at the market and make this work horse of a sauce for your family kitchen,
