Ingredients

  • 8 scallions (green onions), thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup neutral oil (such as vegetable or avocado oil)
  • 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, roughly crushed
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place 8 thinly sliced scallions (green onions) in a heatproof bowl with 1/2 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp granulated sugar. Stir to combine.

  2. 2

    Heat 1/2 cup neutral oil (such as vegetable or avocado oil) in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until shimmering and a scallion piece dropped in sizzles immediately, about 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Carefully pour the hot 1/2 cup neutral oil (such as vegetable or avocado oil) over the scallions all at once. The oil will sizzle vigorously - stand back slightly. Stir once to submerge the scallions.

  4. 4

    Let the mixture cool for 2 minutes, then fold in 1/4 cup roughly crushed roasted peanuts.

  5. 5

    Serve immediately over rice, noodles, or grilled proteins, or store in a jar at room temperature for up to 1 day.
