Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup peanut oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, thickly sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chile flakes
  • 3/4 cup greens from scallions, thickly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
  1. Heat a wok or a cast-iron skillet over high heat. When heat waves can just be seen rising from the pan, swirl in the oil. Add the garlic and chile flakes and sizzle to infuse the flavor into the oil, about 15 seconds. (If the garlic burns, throw it all out and start over.) Add the scallions and quickly stir to mix—they should sizzle and crackle. Season generously with salt and pepper, immediately pour over the dish to be sauced, and serve.
