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:
- 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.
- Prepare an Ice Water Bath: Fill a bowl with ice and water to ensure it's very cold.
- Soak the Green Onions: Place the cut green onions into the ice water bath.
- 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.
- Remove and Use: Take the curly green onions out of the ice water and use them as a garnish or ingredient.
