How to Make Curly Green Onions?

Published in Garnish Techniques 1 min read

To make curly green onions, cut them and then soak them in ice water. The cold water will cause the cut ends to curl.

Steps to Achieve Curly Green Onions:

  1. Cut the Green Onions: Slice the green onions lengthwise from the cut end up to where you want the curl to begin. Several thin slices will result in finer curls.
  2. Prepare an Ice Water Bath: Fill a bowl with ice and water to ensure it's very cold.
  3. Soak the Green Onions: Place the cut green onions into the ice water bath.
  4. Wait for Curling: Let the green onions sit in the ice water for 5 to 10 minutes. The cold temperature causes the cut ends to curl.
  5. Remove and Use: Take the curly green onions out of the ice water and use them as a garnish or ingredient.
