Cooking tips

  • When making a small batch at home, avoid high heat as ingredients may burn before their aroma can fully release—gentle heat control is essential.
  • Collect and use the green leafy ends of large green onions often discarded at home to make this more economical.
  • If the onion is cleaned thoroughly, you can slice it directly without peeling—the skin adds excellent flavor.
  • Use instead of regular cooking oil when starting stir-fries, or drizzle one generous spoonful at the end of cooking to elevate the dish’s depth.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to achieve deep, restaurant-quality Chinese flavors at home.
  • Home cooks looking to deliciously use up leftover green onion leaves or vegetable scraps.
  • Anyone needing a versatile flavor oil to use across multiple stir-fry dishes after making just once.
