Cook safely
Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.
- Grill and open flame. Keep sleeves, hair and tea towels away from the flame, and stay with the grill while it's lit. Barbecue outdoors only, never in a closed space.
- Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

- Many Vietnamese dishes require this delicate scallion- flavored oil. Brushed over noodles, barbecued meats, vegetables or breads, it complements each item.
- Heat the oil in a small saucepan until hot but not smoking, about 300 degrees F. Remove the pan from the heat and add the sliced scallions. Let the mixture steep at room temperature until completely cooled.
- This oil mixture will keep stored in a tightly covered jar at room temperature for 1 week.
