Momofuku's ginger spring onion sauce

Momofuku's ginger spring onion sauce

Serves 12



2½ cups   thinly sliced spring onions (greens and whites; from 1-2 large bunches)
½ cup   finely minced peeled fresh ginger
¼ cup   grapeseed or other neutral oil
1½ tsp   usukuchi (light soy sauce)
¾ tsp   sherry vinegar
¾ tsp   kosher salt, or more to taste


1 Combine the spring onions, ginger, oil, soy, vinegar and salt in a bowl. Taste and check for salt, adding more if needed. Though it’s best after 15 or 20 minutes of sitting, ginger spring onion sauce is good from the minute it’s stirred together up to a day or two in the fridge. Use as directed, or apply as needed.
