  Prepare other ingredients

  Wash the green onions, remove the roots, and cut into pieces about the length of one finger. Peel the garlic and chop finely.

  After peeling and washing the onion, use a knife to cut it into thin strips.

  How to cut onions without making your eyes sting

  • To cut onions without causing eye irritation, you should cut them in a well-ventilated area, such as under an exhaust fan or near a window.
  • Alternatively, use a thin slice of potato, rub it on both sides of the knife. Then use that knife to cut the onion. The starch in the potato helps inhibit the release of the enzyme that causes the odor in onions.
