Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello everyone! Today, I’ll show you a super easy and beautiful way to slice scallions for that perfect scallion salad, even without a special scallion cutter. Make fresh scallion salad at home and enjoy it with your favorite dishes! It’s truly simple.
Step 2
First, remove any dirty outer leaves or wilted parts from the scallions. Use only the fresh parts. Cut the scallions into manageable lengths of about 10-15 cm. If they are too long, it can be difficult to slice them.
Step 3
Now, carefully slice the part of the scallion where the leaves are attached lengthwise, about halfway through. Make a cut only into the leafy part, leaving the root end intact. This helps you slice thinly along the grain of the scallion.
Step 4
Gently spread open the halved leafy section and then roll it up tightly. Rolling it like you would a sushi roll will help keep the shape intact when you slice. It’s now ready for fine shredding.
Step 5
Next, thinly slice the rolled scallion. You can achieve thinner slices by tilting your knife. If the thickest part in the center doesn’t roll up well, just exclude it and focus on slicing the parts that roll nicely. Similar to the leafy part, make a lengthwise cut into the stem section (only the top part), halve it, roll it up, and then slice it thinly. Again, set aside any very thick center pieces that don’t roll.
Step 6
Ta-da! You’ve successfully made neat, thin scallion strips without a special cutter. You can use them immediately for a salad or as a side dish for grilled meats. Enjoy your delicious meal with these fresh scallion strips!
