Spring onion in Shanghai sauce


spring onion

The market is full of big bunches of bright green white spring onion, my favorite way is to cook in a strong sauce, the one used to make Shanghai ribs.

1. Simmer in a wide pan a part of water, with roughly 1/5  part of dark soy sauce, 3/5 part of vinegar, a few star anise, cloves, slices of ginger, and dry figs for sweetness (or brown sugar) for 15 minutes.

2. Add spring onion cut into 3 inches pieces, 2 tbsp of olive oil, simmer for half an hour, and let it cool down in the sauce. Bring to boil again before serving, and to thicken sauce. Can keep a few days in the fridge.
