Transfer to a baking dish, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or overnight.

Allow meat to cool for at least 2 hours, or refrigerate for up to 3 days before proceeding.

Combine the scallions ginger, oil, soy sauce, and vinegar in a small mixing bowl. Season to taste with salt and set aside.
