How to Thinly Slice Green Onions
This Nam Khao recipe calls for six thinly sliced green onions. To start off, make sure you have a sharp knife, as this will make the cutting much easier than trying to use a dull knife.
First, remove any dirt from the onion. After it is cleaned off, then place it on a cutting board. Starting with the white bulb, you want to cut off the root end.
Then, inspect the outer layer of the onion to see if it is nice, or if it's damaged. If you find it to be damaged then proceed to remove the outer layer.
Cut off the ends of the green part since they are often tough.
Separate the green tops from the white bulb.
Slice the white bulb lengthwise while holding it together.
Turn it, and then chop by cutting across all the slices.
Grab the green tops and slice thin.
Repeat until done!
About Feta
Feta cheese is made out of sheep's milk (occasionally with added goat's milk) and has a salty and tangy flavor that make it a favorite inside and outside of its home country, Greece. Although many other countries produce similar types of cheese, the name feta can only be used on the labels of Greek cheeses.
Feta is great in appetizers, side dishes, and as an ingredient in salads, main dishes, and savory pastries. Go far beyond the Greek salad and try using feta cheese.
The options are truly endless with our long list of product varieties. Check out some of our other recipes like this baked curry salmon recipe.
