Maybe it's a little weird, but scallions are my favorite thing to slice. And this is a great practice task if you're just learning to cook. They look so cool when they're done neatly, and they add a lot of color and flavor to a dish. You do need to have a sharp knife because they're delicate, and a dull knife will do more smashing than slicing.

The light green/white parts are the most tender. Makes zero sense to throw those out. Also, this is MUCH easier with a knife meant for chopping, such as a chef's or santoku rather than a carving knife.

I leave a critical comment but this site automatically put that I left 5 stars?? That is some shady sh8 there. This is a stupid video discarding the best parts and using the wrong knife. ZERO stars.
