Scallion and Bacon Stuffing with Black Vinegar and Soy Vinaigrette

Nov 19, 2021 · in Small Eats

This stuffing is inspired by my love for Zuni Cafe's bread salad in San Francisco, a carb induced haze of crunch, chew, fattiness, and acidity. So yes, this is technically a bread salad but feel free to stuff it in your turkey's to make it a true stuffing. Fresh bread is hand torn and drizzled with homemade scallion oil. It's then crisped in a broiler to create crunchy, scallion-y edges while maintaining its soft chew. It's then doused with a scallion oil and black vinegar soy dressing, and mixed with bacon and fresh scallions. A perfect crunchy, acidic bite full of umami with hints of American and Taiwanese nostalgia.
