Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 stalks scallions (green onions)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Trim the root ends and any tough wilted leaves from the scallions. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it begins to foam.
Add the scallions to the skillet in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until they start to soften and develop a light golden-brown color on one side.
Turn the scallions over and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, water, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the glaze mixture over the scallions in the skillet. Bring the sauce to a simmer and gently stir the scallions to coat them evenly.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens and the scallions are fully tender.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the glazed scallions to a serving platter.
Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for garnish before serving.
Serve immediately as a side dish or as part of a larger spread.
