Lots of recipes use scallions—tacos, stir-fries, lettuce wraps, and more. But don’t throw away your scallion scraps. Instead, use them to grow more scallions in just a week!
Use chef’s knife to cut off scallion greens, leaving roots, white bulb, and 2 to 3 inches light green part intact. Save scallion greens for another use, such as Rice Noodle Bowls with Pork and Scallions.
Add about 2 inches water to drinking glass. Place scallion bulbs in water, root end down (top of light green part should be sticking out of water). Put glass in sunny location.
