Instructions

  1. Stack 2-3 green onions, starting at the green end, keep your fingers curled with the tips holding the green onions, run your knife in an up and down rocking motion across the green onion, in between each slice move your fingers and knife down the onion and repeat until you are at the white end.
  2. Reserve the white for a later use.
  3. Place the sliced green onions in a paper towel and rinse under cool water
  4. Transfer them to a dry paper towel and store in the fridge in a lidded container.

Notes

  • Storage: To get your cut green onions to last longer, place them in a paper towel and run water through it until the water runs clear. Squeeze the excess water out of the onions and place on a dry paper towel and squeeze again to remove as much moisture as possible, let air dry for 10-15 minutes. Then store in a Tupperware lined with paper towel
  • For whole green onions that has not been chopped, try one of these two storage methods:
