How to Make Scallion Ginger Sauce

Simple and inexpensive, all you need are chopped scallions (green onions), grated ginger, sea salt and a light tasting oil. Because the ingredients are so few, it’s important to choose fresh, high quality scallions and ginger. Mix them all together and there you have it! For best results, let it rest for a few hours before serving. Store your leftovers in a glass container (not plastic) in the fridge for up to one week.

Serve this sauce alongside Vegan Hainanese “Chicken” Rice. For an authentic experience, make the Hainanese Chili Sauce as well! It’s almost as simple and really completes the dish.
