Ginger Scallion Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• Mix together the scallions, ginger, oil, soy, vinegar, and salt in a bowl. Taste and check for salt, adding more if needed. Though it's best after 15 or 20 minutes of sitting, ginger scallion sauce is good from the minute it's stirred together up to a day or two in the fridge. Use as directed, or apply as needed.

Steps:

• Stir together the ginger, scallions and 1 teaspoon salt in a heatproof medium bowl.
• Heat the oil over high heat in a small pot until it just starts to smoke or registers 375 degrees F on a digital thermometer, 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully pour the hot oil over the scallion-ginger mixture and stir to combine. Mix in the sugar and 1/2 teaspoon white pepper. Serve as a condiment for bai qie ji (white cut chicken).

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium saucepan, whisk miso with 2 1/4 cups water until dissolved. Stir in rice and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and cook until all of the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork (it will be a little sticky).
• On a rimmed baking sheet, rub salmon all over with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and arrange skin-side up. Roast until fish is just opaque and cooked to medium, 8 to 10 minutes.
• In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, scallions, vinegar and ginger, and season with salt and pepper.
• Divide miso rice and cabbage among bowls. Top with salmon, ginger-scallion vinaigrette and sesame oil.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together white-wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, sugar, and scallions.
• Slowly add extra-virgin olive oil, whisking until emulsified. Or shake the ingredients in a jar, or whirl them in a blender.

Steps:

• Combine the scallions, ginger, parsley, garlic, oil, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper to taste in a food processor or blender. Blend until the herbs are finely chopped. But the ingredients should retain some texture.
• Add the quartered egg and process briefly until coarsely blended.
• Pour water into the bottom of a steamer. Season the fillets with salt and coarsely ground pepper. Place them on a steamer rack. Lay one lemon slice over each fillet. Cover, bring the water to a boil and steam for 3 to 4 minutes. Do not overcook.
• Transfer the fish fillets to a serving plate and place some sauce over them. The dish can be served cold or at room temperature. Serve over a bed of sauteed spinach leaves.

Steps:

• Marinade: Peel and julienne the onion. Halve the lemon, then cut it into thin slices. Place zip-top bag into a large mixing bowl to keep contents from spilling, then place sliced onion and lemon into the bag. Pull rosemary and thyme leaves off their sprigs, roughly chop, and add to the bag. Add salt and oil, then mix to combine. Set aside.
• Break down the chicken: First, cut away the wings. Then cut the leg and thigh away from each side, being careful to include the "oysters" from the carcass. Separate the legs from thighs. Cut down either side of the backbone and remove the breasts. (Reserve remaining carcass for stock.) Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and massage the bag to coat. Remove as much air as you can from the bag before sealing it. Marinate at room temperature for 30-45 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours. (Chef Kaysen doesn't recommend marinating for longer than 2 hours, due to the highly acidic nature of this marinade.)
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Transfer all the contents of the zip-top bag into the mixing bowl. Line a clean surface with paper towels and pat chicken pieces dry. In a large sauté pan over high heat, add oil. When it's hot and shimmering, carefully add the chicken and some of the solids from the marinade to the pan. (Work in batches if necessary; do not crowd the pan.) Sear the chicken, about 2 minutes per side. Evenly distribute butter pieces in the pan. After the skin has begun to caramelize, transfer pan to the oven. Allow to roast for a total of 15-20 minutes, until the juices run clear (not pink) for both the white and dark meat. (Alternatively, chicken is done when an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F.) Meanwhile, make the Charred Scallion Vinaigrette.
• Charred Scallion Vinaigrette: In a sauté pan over high heat, add 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil. When it's hot and shimmering, add the scallions; cook, turning occasionally with tongs, until the scallions are charred all over, 8-10 minutes. Meanwhile, peel and mince the ginger, followed by the garlic. In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, the lemon juice, ginger and garlic. Whisk in remaining grapeseed oil (about 3 tablespoons). Remove charred scallions from the pan; chop and add to vinaigrette. Stir to combine, then taste and adjust with more lemon juice as needed. Set aside.
• Assembly: Remove chicken from oven. It's fully cooked when the meat has shrunk and pulls away from the bone (it's easy to tell on the leg). Arrange chicken pieces on a serving platter, along with plenty of roasted lemon and onion. Spoon Charred Scallion Vinaigrette over the top before serving.

Steps:

• Blend first 7 ingredients in food processor. With machine running, gradually add oil and process until well blended. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Let stand 30 minutes at room temperature before using.)

Steps:

• Prepare a gas grill for direct-heat cooking over medium heat; see Grilling Procedure .
• Toss scallions with 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
• Grill scallions, covered, turning occasionally, until wilted and tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Whisk together remaining tablespoon oil, vinegar, mustard, and sugar in a large bowl.
• Toss scallions with vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature, topped with egg.
