Ingredients

Wet Wet Sauce Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons green onions white part, thinly sliced
  • 1½ teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 2 tablespoons gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
  • 1 teaspoon white sesame seeds
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare Aromatics: Place the green onions, minced garlic, minced ginger, gochugaru, and white sesame seeds into a large heatproof pot, combining all the dry and fresh ingredients to form the base of the sauce.
  2. Heat Oil: In a separate saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it is hot but not smoking, ensuring the oil is ready to infuse flavors without burning.
  3. Infuse Oil: Carefully pour the hot oil over the mixture of green onions, garlic, ginger, and chili flakes in the heatproof pot. The hot oil will bubble upon contact, releasing the aromas and flavors of the ingredients.
  4. Stir and Cool: Stir everything together thoroughly and allow the mixture to cool slightly, which helps meld the flavors and prevent overpowering heat.
  5. Add Sauces and Vinegar: Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and rice vinegar to the cooled mixture, balancing the heat with savory and tangy notes. Finish with the toasted sesame oil for a nutty aroma.
  6. Store or Serve: Enjoy the sauce immediately as a condiment or drizzle, or transfer it into an airtight jar and refrigerate to use later. The flavors will deepen with time.

Notes

  • Use a heatproof container to safely pour hot oil over the ingredients.
  • Gochugaru can be substituted with other chili flakes, but the flavor will vary.
  • The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Adjust the amount of chili flakes according to your heat preference.
  • This sauce is perfect as a dipping sauce, drizzled over noodles, rice dishes, or grilled meats.
