Ingredients

Units Scale

Dip Base

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Flavor Elements

  • 4–5 scallions, trimmed
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chili crisp oil (including crunchy bits)

Instructions

  1. Char the Scallions: Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat and add the trimmed scallions. Cook directly over the heat until edges blacken and blister, turning occasionally for even charring to bring out a smoky depth.
  2. Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until smooth, creating a creamy and flavorful dip base.
  3. Add Garlic and Chili Crisp: Fold in minced garlic and chili crisp oil, including the crunchy bits, to incorporate texture and a spicy punch.
  4. Chop and Combine Scallions: Allow the charred scallions to cool slightly, then chop roughly and gently fold into the dip mixture, distributing smoky pieces throughout.
  5. Adjust and Refrigerate: Taste and adjust seasoning with extra soy sauce or vinegar if needed. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to meld the flavors before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh scallions for the best flavor and color.
  • Don’t skip the charring step; blackened bits provide the signature smoky undertone.
  • Choose chili crisp with crunchy bits for texture, not just liquid oil.
  • Add chili crisp gradually to control spice level.
  • Serve cold or at room temperature; chilling enhances flavor melding.
