Ingredients
- 8 stalks scallion (green onions), finely chopped
- ½ cup neutral oil (vegetable, canola, avocado, peanut)
- ⅛ teaspoon salt (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and dry scallions thoroughly. Finely chop and place in a heatproof bowl.
- In a small saucepan, heat oil over medium heat until about 300°F—hot but not smoking.
- Carefully pour hot oil over scallions. You should hear a sizzle.
- Stir in salt (if using) and let it rest for a few minutes. Use immediately or store in the fridge for up to 3–4 days.
Notes
- Use completely dry scallions to avoid splattering.
- A glass or ceramic bowl is best for pouring hot oil.
- Only make what you’ll use within a few days for the freshest flavor.
