What Is Ginger Scallion Sauce?
I decided to take my roasted potato game up a notch and add a little something I typically enjoy over rice, chicken, fried eggs–literally everything: ginger scallion sauce (or ginger scallion oi)l. This salty, slightly onion-y condiment that is typically accompanied with Cantonese poached chicken, is also great with fish and guaranteed to convert any ginger hater.
