How to Cut Green Onions
Description
How to Cut Green Onions offers a clear technique for slicing green onions neatly and efficiently. You start by stacking 2 to 3 rinsed and dried green onions and then cutting them in a controlled rocking motion from the greenest section down toward the white base. The white parts are set aside for future use, preserving their flavor independent of the greens. After slicing, rinsing the cut sections under cool water and thoroughly drying them helps remove excess dirt or grit, making the onions cleaner and crisper for cooking or garnishing.
The instructions also include proper storage advice: after drying, the cut green onions are stored in a lidded container in the refrigerator with paper towels to absorb moisture, enhancing their shelf life. The notes emphasize storing whole green onions separately either standing in water covered by plastic or rolled in damp paper towels within bags to extend freshness. This method helps maintain green onions in good condition for up to several days, reducing waste.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch green onions rinsed and dried
Instructions
- 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.
- Reserve the white for a later use.
- Place the sliced green onions in a paper towel and rinse under cool water
- Transfer them to a dry paper towel and store in the fridge in a lidded container.
Notes
- Store cut green onions wrapped in paper towels and sealed in a container to keep them fresh longer.
- Whole green onions can be kept upright in a jar of water covered with plastic or rolled in a damp paper towel inside a bag.
- Changing the water every 3 to 5 days helps prolong the life of whole green onions stored in water.
