While waiting, prepare the sauce. Add oil, scallions and garlic to a small saucepan (keep some scallions for garnishing). Leave to simmer over low heat until the aromatics become golden. Turn off the heat then stir in chilli flakes if using. Finally, add light soy sauce, black rice vinegar and sugar. Mix well.
