Scallion Chinese Sauceis a typical Chinese sauce with an intense flavor of shallots and spring onions and spices such as cinnamon and star anise. A tasty, versatile and truly irresistible sauce.
Scallion Chinese Sauce
Chinese Shallot Sauce, is the sauce to prepare Shallot Noodles. To prepare them, you only need Chinese Egg Noodles, the sauce and the spring onions and shallots used to prepare them.
It is a sauce based on an oil flavored through a slow frying of spring onions, shallots and spices such as cinnamon, star anise, bay leaf and ginger. Once flavored, just add soy sauce, oyster sauce and sugar to cook for a couple of minutes and voila! You will have a nice jar of delicious Scallion Chinese Sauce that you can not only use for Shallot Noodles but also to make various Lo Mein dishes, make sauteed rice.
Personally, I also experimented with it to give a little more flavor in a quick soup, with ravioli, with white rice and steamed salmon… It goes really well with everything, now as soon as it finishes I immediately prepare some more. Try it and let me know with which dishes you tried it!
