Mince @fresh ginger{2%oz}(55 g; peeled) and @scallions{6}(white and green, sliced thin) as fine as your patience allows, and toss them with @kosher salt{1%tsp} in a #heatproof bowl{}.

Heat @peanut oil{1/2%cup}(120 mL) in a #saucepan{} until it shimmers and just begins to smoke, then pour it over @&(~1)ginger and scallion{} in one go — it should hiss and climb the bowl. Oil poured on warm leaves you a bowl of raw onion, which is the one way this goes wrong.

Stir @toasted sesame oil{1%tsp} and @white pepper{1/4%tsp} into @&(~1)relish{} and ~rest{20%min} before it goes to the table. It keeps a week in the fridge and it belongs beside white cut chicken, plain rice, and anything poached.
