Pairs well with
Soy Sauce
Quick stir-fry, high heat. Green onion's sharpness meets soy's depth. Add at the end to keep the onion's bite.
Ginger
Sauté in oil, medium heat. Ginger's warmth lifts green onion's freshness. Start with ginger, add onion last.
Egg
Scramble in hot pan. Green onion's brightness cuts through egg's richness. Add onion just before eggs set.
