1. Prepare Scallions and Ginger
Trim both the white and green parts of the scallions, ensuring they are clean and dry before you finely mince them. Next, peel a 2-inch piece of fresh ginger and mince it finely. The key here is to make sure the pieces are small and uniform, which will help in evenly distributing the flavors.
2. Combine Ingredients
In a small bowl, combine the minced scallions and ginger with the neutral oil and fine sea salt. Stir the mixture thoroughly with a spoon or spatula until the ingredients are well-blended.
3. Store or Serve
Feel free to serve your Zesty Ginger-Scallion Infusion immediately, or if you're planning to save it for later, transfer it into an airtight container. If stored properly in the refrigerator, this infusion can stay fresh for up to a week.
Choose fresh, firm ginger and bright green, perky scallions for the best flavor in your infusion.
Use low, controlled heat when infusing oil to gently coax out flavors without burning the ingredients.
Taste and adjust the ratio of ginger to scallions, considering their potency and sharpness.
Enhance the zesty profile by adding salt incrementally and tasting as you go.
Thinly peel and finely grate ginger, and finely chop scallions, using both white and green parts at different times.
