Most other things, yeah. I am bad at cutting green onions.
You gonna finish or is this just bait?
Look I was hoping nobody would notice, so thanks you butthead ( <3 )

Most people would know what you mean, but yeah by far the most common name in the states is green onion.
If you squint it just looks like green onions.
If you don’t squint it looks like that too.
If you squint really really hard it looks like eyelids
Squint harder, now you’re asleep.
You got me, I should have phrased that better.
… Damn. You’re absolutely right.
The best part is when all you toss them and all the little interior rings come apart.
You’re so right that it’s satisfying to dice green onion and get that beautiful gradient.
Have you tried mincing meat by hand? I get incredible satisfaction wielding two cleavers and going to town on some chicken. It’s amazing how quickly it turns from chunks to a fine paste. Plus the sound is astounding. My roommates legit gather because it makes such a ruckus and apparently I get a huge smile on my face whenever I do it.
That sounds AMAZING, though I think my roommates would be more “cower in fear” if I ever got my hands on two cleavers at once (I am a renowned klutz).
Is there anything more satisfying in the world to dice…?
Fascists?
Have you actually?
Ah, one of those recipes from the little red cookbook
I find regular onion satisfying too.
So satisfying it brings tears to my eyes.
Working out the technique is awesome. Dicing up onions becomes easy and even enjoyable once you know.
Oh, that’s a good one. Slicing a nice big onion into thin half rounds is a wonderful sensation.
this was the first thing we learned to dice in culinary school (the high school program)
also chopping up parsley for garnish is so fun cause you just take out all your aggression :P
It’s basic, but it’s basic for a real good reason…
dice keep surprising us with their preferences
I feel like there’s a reference here I’m just not getting :(
its such a bad joke that its hard to get lol
Oh jeeze, okay that took a while. Lol.
I would rank silken tofu above it.
@Warl0k3 tomato…but only if your knife is sharp enough to avoid the squish!
Use a bread knife for tomatoes.
Peppers are pretty fun
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.
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…
I dont see any cuboids. Is it still dicing if the result is hollow cylinders? /j
