Servings: 1/4 cup
¼ cup peanut oil
2 scallions, finely sliced
Many Vietnamese dishes require this delicate scallion-flavored oil. Brushed over noodles, barbecued meats, vegetables or breads, it complements each item.
Heat the oil in a small saucepan until hot but not smoking, about 300°F. Remove the pan from the heat and add the sliced scallions. Let the mixture steep at room temperature until completely cooled.
This oil mixture will keep stored in a tightly covered jar at room temperature for 1 week.
