Ingredients

6 tablespoons ginger (minced)
1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
3 scallions (minced)
4 fresh red chili peppers (chopped, optional)
½ cup neutral oil (like vegetable or canola oil)
½ teaspoon soy sauce
1/8 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine
1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Prepare the ginger, garlic, scallions, and chili peppers. In a saucepan, heat ½ cup of oil over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and fry gently for about 15 min. until the color deepens into a darker, more golden yellow. If the ginger sizzles too much, turn the heat down to medium or medium low; the ginger should not visibly crisp or brown.
Next, add the garlic and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes. Follow with the scallions, stirring until the scallions are cooked through. Add the chili peppers and stir to combine, letting the peppers cook through as well.
Finally, add the soy sauce, sugar, Shaoxing wine, and salt (feel free to add salt to taste). Use immediately or store in an airtight tupperware container or glass jar on the top shelf of your refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Makes about 2/3 cup.
