I’ve been playing with this Garnish technique I saw on Chinese cooking videos where you cut a 3 inch section of green onion, flatten it with your knife, then cut it along the short edge to form long strands of green onion. A few of those delicately placed atop a dish, especially one lacking green, really makes it pop
Plating is just so much fun, I have to be careful not to get carried away with it. Rice especially is fun, get the consistency right and you can sculpt it into so many different shapes that accent the food in so many delightful ways and then twenty minutes have gone by, the food’s cold and everyone else is complaining…
That is a fine looking gradient! Green onions are a great garnish.
I’ve been experimenting with plating too. Even though it’s time consuming, the end result is super satisfying to look at.
