Main Ingredients
- 2 large scallions (Choose fresh and plump ones.)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the fresh scallions thoroughly. Depending on their size, cut them into 3 to 4 pieces, each about 7-10 cm long. Cutting them too long might make them difficult to grill.
Step 2
Specifically, the white parts of the scallions are thicker, so cut them in half once more for easier grilling. This ensures the sauce coats evenly and they cook at a consistent rate.
Step 3
Place the prepared scallions in a wide bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil and toss to coat all the scallions evenly. Olive oil enhances the scallions’ flavor and keeps them moist after grilling.
Step 4
Now, let’s make the core of this delicious grilled scallion salad – the dressing! In a small bowl, combine 1/2 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of water, 1/2 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of cooking wine, and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Mix well until the sugar dissolves.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat without adding any oil. Arrange the oil-coated scallions in a single layer and grill them until they are lightly browned and slightly charred on both sides. Grilling slowly over medium-low heat prevents burning and allows the natural sweetness of the scallions to develop. Aim for a slightly caramelized, tender-crisp texture.
Step 6
Place the well-grilled scallions into the prepared dressing and gently toss to coat. Ensuring the dressing evenly coats the scallions will make them even more delicious. Serve immediately while warm for a delightful chewy, moist, and sweet-savory grilled scallion salad.
