Scallions

Scallions, also known as green onions or spring onions, are a staple in Chinese cuisine. These long, slender green onions have a mild onion flavor and are commonly used in stir-fries, soups, and noodle dishes. They are often sliced diagonally and added as a garnish to dishes for both flavor and visual appeal. Scallions are also a popular ingredient in dumplings and savory pancakes. In Chinese medicine, scallions are believed to have a warming effect on the body and are used to treat colds and other respiratory illnesses. Scallions are easy to find in most grocery stores and can be used in a variety of dishes to add a subtle onion flavor and a pop of color.
