28 Scallions Recipes From 14 Cuisines.

The onion you use like an herb. East Asian cooking is unthinkable without them: showered raw over ramen, tacos and congee, or sizzled with hot oil as a finishing sauce. The white parts are stronger and go into the pan; the green tops are gentler and go on last. They are also the fastest allium — no long cooking needed, no tears, and they regrow on a windowsill in water.
