Green onions and minced ginger condiment

Green onions and minced ginger condiment (姜蓉)

How to: You would need lots of green onions(about 2-3 bunches) and ginger (2-3 tsps minced or freshly grated ginger). Mince or blend them finely in a food processor/blender. Add some olive oil to the green onions and ginger mixture. Store in air-tight container in the fridge.



This is a condiment you don't find in many Chinese restaurants (in the US, and even in Singapore) because it's neither preserved green chilli nor light soy sauce. This is some condiment you MIGHT find... if you are eating plain boiled/steamed chicken in some Chinese specialty/seafood restaurants eg. Jade Palace Seafood, Singapore, or a place like Soup Restaurant (三盅两件) that is famous for its Samsui Chicken.



I made another condiment here - Thai style. Looks almost similar (being greenish-looking) but they are entirely different in terms of flavor, and the heat.
