Question 1

When a recipe calls for green onions What part do I use?

Accepted Answer

Most likely if it's being added to a dish that is cooking it would be safe to say that you want to add the white part of the green onion.

If it is being used at the very end of a recipe most likely you will want the green part of the onion as it will be more of a garnish or an addition to add some color to the dish. An example of this would be fried rice.

Question 2

How long do you cook green onions?

Accepted Answer

You want to cook them as long as your dish needs. Think of the white part of the onion a little bit lighter than its cousin the yellow onion or shallot. Treat them the same way but think of the size of the slice and how quickly it will cook.

The green part does not have a ton of flavor and you will want focus on adding to a finished cooked dish or at the very end of the cooking of the recipe.
