Scallion Oil on Broken Rice (Mo Hanh)

We’ve all seen these chopped scallions cooked in oil atop rice plates and as garnishes for noodles, meats and fish.  It adds a fresh onion flavor and a vibrant pop of color to any dish or meal.  This simple condiment is the easiest thing to make and one of the essential recipes every good cook should learn.  If you happen to love this and want to always have some handy, you can make a big batch and store it in a jar in the refrigerator.  When needed, simply scoop out a small amount, heat it up in the microwave for 15 seconds and enjoy.  Super easy!

      Hi Lili,
      Enjoy within 1-2 days as the greens onions get wilted in the oil fairly quickly.
