Notes
- To easily slice the green onions, firstly trim off the root ends then bundle them together on your chopping board, line up the ends then slice through them all at once in one cut. I use both the white and green parts of the green onions (shallots) in this recipe. Watch them though, because the little slices are round they tend to roll!
- Some light char on the green onions is good, but not on the garlic or it will taste bitter.
- Save yourself another dish to wash and place the cooked green onions into your final serving bowl to cool, then add your remaining ingredients to that bowl.
