Whether you and your child are making Scallion Pancakes or another recipe, here's what he needs to know about preparing the green onions.1. Trim off the root end and 1 inch of the green tip of each scallion, then slice or use kitchen scissors to snip each one crosswise just above where the white and green sections meet.
2. Cut the whites in half lengthwise and pull away and discard any dry, rough outer layers.
3. Thinly chop the whites, then cut the greens into thin slices with a knife or kitchen scissors. Transfer the greens along with the whites to a bowl and toss.
