- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

2. Stir in white scallion parts and half of cilantro and continue to cook for another 2 minutes, stirring. Add fish sauce and cook for another minute. Add chili sauce, stir, and immediately add the scallion greens and the remaining cilantro. Stir to combine and add lime juice.
