Ingredients of the week: Mushrooms,Cranberries, Brassica, Beetroot, Potatoes, Cabbage, Carrots, Nutritional Yeast, Miso, Buckwheat
Cuisine of the month:
keep some in a glass or vase in yr kitchen and just keep waterin. chop some up and fry em in neutral oil, provides a crispy topping and leaves you with some very useful oil (for salad dressing, sauces, etc). or just munch on em. or just look at them if you like
Green onion is so good as a raw topping! Pasta, soup, chili, whatever - just chop up a fistfull of em and toss it on top ๐คค
i added green onion, mushrooms and a soft boiled egg to some cheap ass gas station ramen and IT REALLY WAS DELICIOUS O SHIT. such a small amount of effort.
Hell yes. My go-to is to soy sauce ramen, green onion, sugar snap peas, carrots, and loads of chili powder ๐ฆ
Put them in chili I dare you. Great topping for pretty much anything, a nice splash of color for any dish plus you can pop the white bits in whatever you're cooking and they'll make it better. Underrated veggie for sure

Asia would like to have a word with you
Absolute bop of a song
great post. do they lose their pungency at all when you keep them in water only? I plant my leftover roots outside with great results but that only works during the growing season
man, I've got some green onions that are at least four years old now outside in a tub. They get covered when it's gonna freeze but otherwise they're pretty abused. Fuckers are thicker around than my thumb, I could make onion rings with them. Those and basil are gardening on easy mode.
haha I'm apparently capable of extreme neglect! I may try planting in a container in the future.
extreme neglect is definitely my gardening style
What is your gardening zone?
zone 9a
Oof. Strictly a container plant for me probably
I wouldn't recommend just leaving them in just water long term. I'll usually just buy a new $1 bag of green onions every 3-4 months to keep the onions tasting as fresh as I'd like. You'd want something to act as nutrients for the water if you were to do only water long term.
Piece of advice though, green onions border on being a weed. Realistically, you should be able to plant your bulbs any time of the year other than winter. They will even spread particularly easily.
thank you!
A dish is not complete without some onion
I love onions so much it's hard to pick a favorite. It's probably green onions for me but I also like other onions. Green onions are the most versatile but there's nothing like some pickled red onions. Every time I finish a jar of pickles I'll chop up a red onion and throw it into the vinegar and let it soak for a few weeks.
You don't keep all the leftover pickle juice to drink later?
sometimes I cook with it, sometimes I drink it, sometimes I add more veggies to it. depends on the mood
Dry them in oil? What does that mean? I want crunchy green onions. How do i do it?
Must have been a typo for "fry" although technically frying is a quick way to dry something
put them in oil, heat until the water cooks out and they're all crispylike
Buy some master blend water soluble fertilizer and you can actually feed those onions everything they need hydroponically instead of just letting them soak up water
here's one of my fav slow cooker recipes, chicken adobo (vegan option is to fry tofu on pan)
chicken, i prefer bone in thighs
coconut milk
soy sauce
garlic
instant tapioca (to thicken the sauce)
bay leaves
salt/pepper
apple cider vinegar
slow cook it all together. adjust portions depending on what flavor you like best. i go heavy on the cider.
vegan option is to fry some tofu, then mix the sauce in the pan and heat it all up together
make some whatever rice. add rice vinegar to the water.
bowl it together. top with sriracha and sesame seed.
at the end, and here's the best part, ADD A MILLION CHOPPED GREEN ONIONS TO IT. YES YES YES GREEN ONIONS FOR THE ONION GOD
I love chives too. I put em in pretty much everything.
here's a good oven bake chicken recipe (vegan option is baked tofu)
mix soy sauce, apricot jam, sriracha in a bowl. adjust for whatever flavor you want more of.
another more basic mix is soy sauce, hoisin, and sriracha.
you can marinate chicken/tofu for however long, or just simple lather it while in a pan. save some of the mix to lather again while cooking.
bake chicken. i prefer bone in thighs. (tofu for vegan alternative). while baking lather again with your bowl mixture you made earlier.
make whatever rice. add rice vinegar to the water.
put all in bowl. add sesame seed.
best part: GREEN ONIONS ADD GREEN ONIONS TO THE TOP WOOOO
