This zesty Chinese condiment is a spicier take on a traditional oil. It combines fresh ginger, spring onion and whole red chilli, which are finely chopped and then sizzled in hot vegetable oil. The result is a fragrant, fiery oil perfect for drizzling over stir fried vegetables or our one pot crystal chicken. It can be prepared a day in advance, making it a convenient flavour booster for your meals.

Ingredients

white parts of one bunch spring onions
a large piece of ginger
