Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Wet Wet Sauce
  1. In a heatproof pot, combine the chopped green onion whites, minced garlic, minced ginger, gochugaru, and white sesame seeds. Stir gently to create a colorful blend of textures and inviting aromas.
  2. In a saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it shimmers and is hot but not smoking, about 5 minutes.
  3. Carefully pour the hot oil over the combined ingredients in the pot, then stir quickly to infuse the oil into the aromatics.
  4. Allow the mixture to cool for about 5 minutes, stirring gently to incorporate any settled ingredients.
  5. Once cooled, stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and rice vinegar until thoroughly blended.
  6. Serve immediately, or transfer to a sterilized jar for storage.
