Mise en place

Ingredients

1 bunch spring onions

Method

Get cooking

Rinse the spring onion thoroughly, making sure no sand or dirt remains.
Trim off the green top if you only want to use the milder white part. The green part is edible too.
Slice the spring onion to the thickness you need: thin rings for raw dishes and thicker slices for cooking or frying.
Add it to salads, soups, sauces and stir-fries, or use it as a tasty, colourful garnish.

Background

Ways to use it in the kitchen. In salads, finely chopped spring onion adds crunch and a gentle bite. Add it to stir-fries at the end for a fresh flavour. It brings extra depth and a mild onion taste to soups and sauces. Sprinkle sliced spring onion over noodles, rice or omelettes as a garnish.
