Ingredients

10 stalk scallions / spring onions ((approximately 1 US cup after being finely chopped))
30 g ginger ((or to preference))
1/2 tsp salt ((or to taste))
1/4 US cup oil ((neutral tasting; amount to preference))

1
Remove the roots from the spring onions by lining the ends in a straight line and chopping down roughly 1-2cm (0.4"-0.8") from the tip of the white parts.
2
Wash the spring onions in cold water, drain using a colander and repeat 2-3 times. Make sure to use your fingers to rub away any dirt and loose ends as it gets washed.
3
Lay the greens flat on some paper towel and press another over the top to pat them completely dry.
4
Finely chop the scallions.
5
Grate the ginger into the bowl of scallions.Note: If you don't have a grater, chop the ginger as finely as you can.
6
Mix everything together with the salt.Note: Make sure everything is in a heat-safe container or bowl because hot oil will be poured into it.
7
Heat up the oil until you start to see it smoking, then pour it directly over the mixed aromatics.
8
Give the sauce a stir to combine, then serve as is!
