Blog: www.nextinlime.com
Servings: 12 tablespoons
Ingredients
- 4 scallions - aka green onions, finely chopped or minced (Note A)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 cloves garlic - finely minced or grated
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes - aka chili flakes, adjust quantity to taste
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons cooking oil - any neutral one you prefer
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix all the ingredients except butter and oil.
- Heat butter and oil together in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot, but not smoking. Carefully drop a small piece of scallion into the pan. If it sizzles, the oil is appropriately hot.
- Pour the hot oil over the mixture in the bowl. Mix well and enjoy with chicken, fish, rice or cooked dumplings.
Notes
Note A: Scallions – When short on time or making a big batch, I cut the scallions into evenly sized chunks, then use the pulse function of my food processor to chop them finely.
