Note
For a richer flavor, you can add a teaspoon of butter to the skillet before sautéing the scallions.
If you prefer a milder taste, use only the white parts of the scallions. For more color and flavor, include the green tops.
This sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
Feel free to substitute the balsamic vinegar with red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar for a different flavor profile.
The original directions mentioned mushrooms (shiitake, fresh, portabella). If desired, you can add 1 cup of sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the scallions for added umami and texture.
