    I’ve yet to master proper green onion quantity, any tips?

    Also do you use a mix of the harder white part and the green?

      Cook with the white part, finish with the green. Quantity is subjective, put as much as looks appealing. I put probably 2-3 tbsp.

      More, thinner cuts = stronger taste. If you just want that bright pop of green in a dish, use longer cuts like 1+" long. Check out how they do it with stirfries.

      Also. NEVER EVER EVER, throw away the bulb at the end. Put it in dirt, and you’ll grow massive bunches of green onion. After like 10-20 bulbs, I just get year round massive stalks of green onion - it’s fantastic and comes back every year.
