Green Onion Curls

Ingredients :

• 6 to 8 fresh medium green onions
• cold water
• 10 to 12 ice cubes

Cooking Procedures :

1. Trim bulbs from onions at point where stems begin to turn green.  Trim remaining stems to a length of about 4 inches, cutting off tops if necessary.  Reserve bulbs and remaining tops for another use.
2. Using sharp scissors, cut each section of the green stems lengthwise into very thin strips down to the beginning of the stem.  Cut about 6 to 8 strips in each stem section.
3. Fill a medium or large bowl about half full of cold water.  Place green onions in water.  Add ice cubes.  Refrigerate until onions curl for about an hour.
4. Drain onion curls.  Use as garnish.
