Best 4 Cantonese Ginger Scallion Sauce Recipes

GINGER SCALLION SAUCE

Steps:

• Put 8 slices of ginger into a chopper. Then, run the chopper until the ginger turns finely minced.
• Next, put finely minced ginger into a bowl.
• After, cut 5 sticks of green onion into small pieces.
• The following step, put the chopped green onion into the bowl and add 1 teaspoon of salt.
• After that, in a pan or pot heat up 1/2 cup of vegetable oil. Make sure the oil is hot enough before pouring over the ginger and green onion. (You can dip a wooden chopstick into the oil, if you little bubbles around the chopstick it means the oil is hot. Or, you can use a thermometer to measure the temperature around 375F- 400F.)
• Be careful when you pour the hot oil over the ginger and green onion. Then, mix it well.

SCALLION-GINGER SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine scallions, ginger, salt and crushed red pepper in a heatproof medium bowl. Set next to the stove. Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute. Carefully pour the hot oil over the scallion mixture. Stir to submerge the scallions and ginger in the oil. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.

GINGER SCALLION TRIPE (DIM SUM STYLE)

Steps:

• Clean the tripe well under running water.
• Place the whole pieces of tripe in a large pot and fill with chicken stock, water, 2 1/2 ounces of the sliced ginger, 4 scallion stalks, 1 garlic clove, sesame oil, 1/2 cup of the rice wine, white pepper, salt and the dried chilil peppers.
• Place the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer and continue to simmer for 2-3 hours. Check for doneness by piercing tripe with a fork. Tripe should be tender but easily sliced with a knife, not rubbery.
• Drain the tripe and slice into 1 inch strips. Discard broth.
• In a wok, heat peanut oil on medium high heat.
• Add and sautee the garlic clove, 1/2 ounce of julienned ginger, and 2 julienned scallions. About 2 minutes.
• Add the tripe and remaining 1/2 cup rice wine. Simmer for 2 minutes. Discard the garlic clove.
• Make a slurry with the chicken broth and cornstarch. Add mixture to wok. Stir to thicken. About 2 minutes. Serve with rice.

CARAMELIZED-SCALLION SAUCE

Steps:

• In a tall-sided saucepan, heat the oil over medium-low heat.
• Trim the roots from 2/3 of the scallions, and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Pulse the scallions in a food processor until finely minced. (You may need to scrape down the sides once or twice.) Add 3/4 to 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and pulse until wet and puréed. Carefully add the purée to the oil (the oil should be warm, not hot, but be careful of splatters).
• Raise the heat to high, and cook, stirring, until it reaches a boil. Turn the heat down to maintain a mellow but insistent sizzle. Cook, stirring every few minutes to make sure the bottom and sides aren't sticking and browning, until the purée is army green, just starting to take on brownish tones, and goes from thick and clumpy to very liquid in the pot, around 35 minutes. In truth, it's ugly. (You can cook it further to get a more browned, caramelized flavor if you like, but don't let it get dark.)
• Meanwhile, trim the roots off the remaining scallions, and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Pulse them in the food processor until they are finely minced but not puréed. Remove the scallions to a bowl and stir in another 3/4 to 1 teaspoon salt. When the purée in the pot is ready, carefully stir in the minced scallions, and turn the heat up to high. Bring it back to a boil, stirring, and then remove the sauce to a heatproof bowl to cool to room temperature. When it has cooled, taste, and add more salt if desired.
• Store in a jar, topping it with a little oil if necessary to keep everything submerged. The sauce keeps, refrigerated and under oil, for a couple of weeks.
