Momofuku's ginger-scallion sauce
For the past two years, foodies in Vancouver (myself included) have been anxiously awaiting the opening of Momofuku's newest location. Unfortunately, today's news announced that David Chang's flagship restaurant will not be coming after all. Bummer. I was looking forward to their bao, and really wanted to try their famous ginger-scallion sauce. Not that Vancouver's lacking in Asian food, but I was curious how a Michelin-starred chef puts his own spin on it. Anyway, since they're no longer coming, it seems the only way I'll get to taste Momofuku's ginger-scallion sauce is to make it myself. So I found the below recipe from epicurious.com. It's similar to an onion sauce I posted way back, except better, of course. Still, I did tweak the recipe oh-so-slightly, as noted in Method.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and let sit for 20 minutes to allow the flavours to meld. Serve at room temperature.
- 2
Optional: the original recipe's like a chunky salsa, so I upped the oil by about half to make it a little runnier, and to coat food better. I also added a few drops of Maggi seasoning, for a little more depth and oomph.

All-Purpose Scallion Sauce All-Purpose Scallion Sauce
This really is a sauce that goes well with anything. I use it with cold tofu, boiled pork or chicken, fish meuniere, karaage, salad, boiled tofu, and shabu shabu.You can increase the amount of Japanese leek and ginger if you want It also tastes good if you add some minced garlic. If you don't have any doubanjiang, you can use ra-yu instead! Since this contains leek, it doesn't keep for very long (2-3 days). So it's probably best if you make it when you need it.

Ginger and Onions Sauce Ginger and Onions Sauce
The title of this recipe isn't a typo. There are three types of onion in this dish. The inspiration came from, of all places, a Chinese stall at a food court. They served something similar with their steamed chicken and it blew my mind, so I had to give it a go. As seen in the picture, I like mine with roast chicken, although it's also great on fried or steamed fish.
