How to Cut Green Onions (5 Easy Ways)

🧂 Ingredients

• 4 stalks green onion

  or as much as needed

Instructions

• 1 Wash the green onions under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry. Trim
  and discard the root ends and any dry or discolored parts of the onions. You may
  also want to peel the top leaves/outer layers. 
• 2 Thinly slice your green onions crosswise to create small rings. Usually, you
  only need to slice the green parts. The whites can be kept aside for cooking or
  to regrow the onions

• 3 Cut green onions crosswise into thick slices of around ¼ to ½ inches thick.
• 4 Place your knife at a 45-degree angle and slice the green onions into small
  pieces.
• 5 Use your knife to carve thin, long strips out of the green onions. You'll want a
  particularly sharp knife for this one – I like using a pairing knife. Be careful
  with your fingers and go as slow as you need to. 
• 6 Slice off the white part (not useful for curls). Stack the green stalks and cut
  them into a strong bias. With a sharp knife, cut green onions into very thin
  strips. The longer the bias, the more curl you’ll get.
• 7 Place the slices into a bowl of iced water for a couple of minutes – this will
  cause the green onions to curl.
