Instructions

Combine scallions and ginger: Place the chopped scallions and grated ginger in a small bowl.
Simmer the liquids: Heat the olive oil and chicken broth in a small saucepan to a light simmer.
Remove from heat: Once simmering, immediately remove the pan from the heat.
Add amino acids and honey: Stir the amino acids and honey into the saucepan.
Mix together: Pour the heated mixture over the scallions and ginger. Stir to combine.
Serve: Stir together well and serve as a dipping sauce for your desired dish.

Notes

Customize the flavor: Adjust the amount of honey and amino acids to suit your preferred sweetness and saltiness levels.
Use fresh aromatics: Fresh ginger and scallions provide brighter flavor than pre-minced or dried alternatives.
Pour hot liquid directly over aromatics: The heat gently softens the scallions and ginger while drawing out their aroma without cooking them fully.
Serving suggestion: This sauce is great on meats, rice, and vegetables, or as a dip for dumplings.
Storage tip: Store leftover ginger scallion sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator; it generally keeps well for up to 5 days
