Ingredients to make the chive-dressing
- Scallions, sliced, the white and green parts. Each part gives a unique flavor to the dressing.
- Ginger minced or grated.
- Oil any oil with a neutral flavor. You have to heat the oil for this dressing, so you will have to be very careful when you work with it.
- A pinch of salt
- Soy sauce
- Rice vinegar, is better if it is unseasoned rice vinegar. This way, you can control the salt in your scallion dressing.
How to make the scallion dressing?
- In a large glass jar, add the sliced scallions and grated ginger. You must use a container made with glass or any other material that is heat resistant.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat. Before it breaks into a boil, remove it from the heat and pour it over the scallions and ginger.
- With a spoon, crush the chives so that it is down. Add soy sauce, vinegar, and salt.

🔥TIP Be extremely careful when making this dressing. Hot oil is very dangerous and can give very bad burns easily. Before you even start making the dressing, check the area so there is nothing you can trip over. Use a pot that is not heavy and that you can pour the oil without problem. Remove anything that could get in the way of your working area.
