This vegetable should be sliced rather than chopped, with the blade of a sharp knife being used for the entire length. Here’s an easy way of slicing scallions, after they have been washed:

Arrange a few scallions in a single layer on the cutting surface

Place the blade's tip against the cutting surface

Gently pull rearward through the scallions

Spring onions must not be chopped with pressure as their delicate leaves may be bruised by downward pressure; chopped scallions can be used in a variety of ways, including coins in fried rice, hairs as a garnish for soups, and large chucks for salads.
