How to cut green onion into curly strips

It is not that easy to cut green onions into shreds. You can often see that the green onions in restaurants are cut perfectly. It is difficult for ordinary people to cut into this state, and there are some little tricks. Wash the green onions first, then press them lightly. Then make the flattened onion into onion shreds and slowly cut them into shreds with a toothpick. Then slowly roll it up and finally cut it into shreds. At this time, you will find that the green onion shreds will become very curly.

Step 1: Take a piece of green onion leaf, wash it, then gently press the green onion leaf from beginning to end to flatten it.

Step 2: This step is to make the flattened green onion leaves into long and thin green onion shreds. There are two common methods:

1. Place the flattened green onion leaves flat on the chopping board, and use the tip of a knife or a toothpick to cut them into thin green onion shreds. Of course, the thinner the better.

2. Roll up the flattened green onion leaves from beginning to end, press them on the chopping board, and then cut the green onion rolls into thin strips as you normally would cut potatoes.

Step 3: Soak the green onion shreds in clean water, and they will immediately curl up naturally.

Prepare the ingredients, half a bowl of water and a few green onions.

Pick the green onion leaves, cut them in the middle, flatten them and roll them up. Press them down with your left fingers and cut them into shreds. You can also roll it into a wider flat shape, which makes it easier to cut.

Soak the chopped green onion in clean water and stretch it, and it will curl naturally. It is very eye-catching when used as decoration, side dish or cold dish.

A piece of fried fish garnished with shredded green onions makes it more layered. The cold-mixed cordyceps flower and black fungus, mixed with green onion ribbons, is even more refreshing.

The way to cut green onions in restaurants:

Cut the white part of the scallion into 5cm long segments.

Make a cut on the side, peel off the onion skin that can be rolled up, and save the onion core for cooking.

Soak the peeled scallion whites in water and wash off the sticky scallion liquid on the surface.

Drain the water, lay them flat on top of each other, and cut them as thinly as possible along the fibers of the onion.

Soak the chopped green onion in water for a while (use ice water to wash in summer, the seniors used a vegetable washing basin to drain the water while running water, rubbing while washing, so that it will be more curled)

Drain the water and refrigerate.
