How to Use Up a Mountain of Scallions?

Hello r/cooking! I never expected to find myself in this situation, but here I am, reaching out for ideas on how to make the most of an absurdly large stash of scallions.

My kitchen is pretty well-equipped with appliances like a Vitamix and a food processor, and I’ve already shared some scallions with family and friends. Now, I’m looking for suggestions on how to tackle the substantial portion I have left for myself. I’d appreciate any ideas, and feel free to share them with others who are also swimming in scallions!

EDIT: Huge thanks to everyone for the fantastic suggestions! We’re planning to make kimchi first, then try the David Chang sauce, and if we have any left afterward, scallion pancakes. I absolutely love scallions and can’t wait to get started!

By the way, I often make pesto in the summer using a mix of herbs, including cilantro and scallions, which is another great way to use them!

    Wow, it sounds like you’re really embracing the scallion challenge! Here are a few more ideas to help you use up that impressive stash:

    1. Scallion Pancakes: This is a classic and delicious way to highlight scallions. They’re crispy, flaky, and perfect with a dipping sauce.

    2. Scallion Oil: Blend scallions with oil to create a scallion-infused oil that can be drizzled over dishes for added flavor.

    3. Kimchi: As you mentioned, making scallion kimchi is a fantastic idea. The scallions add great flavor and texture.

    4. Soups: Use scallions as a base for soups or as a garnish. They can really elevate simple broths and miso soups.

    5. Fried Rice: Toss chopped scallions into fried rice or any grain dish for a fresh punch.

    6. Salads: Incorporate them into salads for a crunchy texture and a hint of onion flavor. They pair well with citrus vinaigrettes.

    7. Stuffed Dumplings: Use them in dumpling filling, mixed with any protein or vegetables you like.

    8. Scallion Butter: Mix chopped scallions into softened butter for a compound butter that’s great on bread, grilled meats, or veggies.

    9. Frittatas or Omelets: Add scallions to your egg dishes for an extra layer of flavor.

    10. Salsas or Dressings: Blend them into salsas or salad dressings for a zingy twist.

    Happy cooking, and enjoy your scallion extravaganza!
