Hello everyone, this is Wang Gang
Today I will show you how to make Scallion Oil
First of all, we need 500g of scallion
After gently patting, cut into small segments
Prepare 200g of spring onion and cut into small segments
Cut 100g of shallot into small segments after patting
Also cut one onion into thin pieces
Cut 100g of ginger into thin slices
Also cut 50g of whole coriander with root into long segments
Finally, prepare a few star anises and a few bay leaves
Friends who like plain scallion oil can avoid the star anise and bay leaf
Let's cook, first warm the wok
Then add 1.5kg of vegetable oil (soybean oil)
Use medium heat raises oil temperature to 20% heat (around 60 degree Celsius)
After the oil is hot, put the prepared spices and scallions, ginger and coriander into the wok
Let it boil for 8 minutes using low heat only
The purpose of this step is to extract the best flavour out of the ginger and scallions with low oil temperature
After 8 minutes, when all the ingredients are soft, use medium heat to fry for another 6 minutes
The purpose of this step is to let scallions and ginger evaporate excessive water to dense the flavour
scallions and ginger will turn yellow after the 6 minutes
This means that the scallion oil is slowly becoming fragrant
Then turn to low heat and continue to boil for 3 minutes
The purpose of this step is to boil the ingredients into golden yellow
Deeply fry the ingredients to force the fragrant to maximum level
Turn off the heat after 3 minutes and soak the ingredients for another minute
Finally, remove the residue and filter it
A pot of fragrant scallion oil is finished
