How To Make Shiraga Negi (Julienned Long Green Onion)
Here is the simple instruction on how to make Shiraga Negi, thin long green onion strips we use for garnish.
Ingredients
- 1 Tokyo negi (naga negi; long green onion) (use white parts of the green onions/scallions)
Instructions
- Cut off the green part. We will only need white part of negi (or green onions) for Shiraga Negi. Cut the white part into 2 inch (5 cm) pieces.
- Make an incision lengthwise and remove the soft green core (you can use it for other recipes).
- Open up and stack the white part of negi.
- Cut the white part thinly into thin julienned strips.
- Soak in cold water for 10 minutes to remove bitterness and drain well. We use Shiraga Negi to garnish Chashu, Kakuni, etc.
To Store
- Put it in an air-tight container or cover it with plastic and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
