Why would you like this dressing?
The idea for this dressing and the way to make it came from one of my favorite magazines, Bon Appetite, one of my favorite food magazines. And after trying it I thought it would be awesome with rice, sushi, crispy tofu, and even tacos, it tastes so good with whatever you can think of.
This dressing is so full of flavor and textures that will surprise you. It has the perfect flavor combination to enhance any dish or vegetable that you don’t like or lack flavor.
Ingredients to make the chive-dressing
- Scallions, sliced, the white and green parts. Each of the part gives a special 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 when you work with it you will have to be very careful.
- A pinch of salt
- Soy sauce
- Rice vinegar , it is better if it is unseasoned rice vinegar. This way you have full control of the amount of salt in your scallion dressing.
How to make the scallion dressing?
- In a large glass jar, add the sliced scallions and grated ginger. It is important that you use a container made with glass or any other material that it is heat resistant.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat. Just 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 all the way down. Add soy sauce, vinegar, and salt.
- Mix and taste carefully, adjust if necessary.
🔥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.
