Spring Onion Recipes That Celebrate The Seasonal Star
Spring onions are underrated, and they certainly don't get the recognition they deserve. Which is why we've pulled together 26 insanely-delicious recipes that use spring onion. We're talking everything from Spring Onion Pancakes (yup, they're a thing) to Perfect Fried Rice , Crispy Teriyaki Tofu, and Potato Salad with spring onion all of which use the humble vegetable as the main ingredient.
Not only will your midweek meals be sorted, you'll also discover a bunch of healthy spring onion recipes included in this round-up (hello Chinese Chicken Mandarin Salad). If you'd like to up your cheffing skills in the kitchen, we've also got a guide on how to cook spring onions, so you'll be looking like a pro in no time. If you've got a glut of the stuff (they're in season in March, so we're sure you'll be using them in lots of recipes this month) then did you know that you can also freeze spring onions? All you need to do is finely chop them and chuck them in a sandwich bag, then freeze and cook from frozen as and when you need them. Spring onions on tap!
So, for a selection of super-simple spring onion recipes, keep reading.

Chicken Chow Mein
Chow mein is our go-to for all types of meals, from an easy dinner to a serious hangover. We love the kick this recipe gets from fresh ginger, but if you're not a fan, skip it.

Healthy Potato Salad
A classic potato salad generally consists of lashings of mayonnaise, but if you're looking to eliminate that mayonnaise for a healthier version, or in need of a vegan potato salad, then this recipe is for you. Simply combining a few ingredients to make a gorgeous salad dressing, we've added dill, parsley and radish to stir through with the potatoes. Perfect in the summer with some BBQ grilled salmon, or steak.

Courgetti Ramen
We make a savoury broth with cremini mushrooms, ginger, soy sauce, and bone broth, which is essential for the salty, umami flavour ramen is known for. Courgetti noodles make the perfect swap for traditional ramen noodles, and soft-boiled eggs add protein.

Easy Homemade Ramen
Making ramen from scratch is pretty darn elaborate. It can be a multi day affair, and if you simply don’t have time for it, it can seem very intimidating. Our shoyu ramen recipe calls for making four important components: dashi and tare for the soup base, and nitamago and chashu as showstopping toppings.

Everyone loves a good stuffed mushroom. In fact, we'd venture to say it's one of the world's best party snacks. They're easy to make and reheat, perfectly bite-sized, and ridiculously delicious. This version is even MORE irresistible with the addition of sweet, tender crab, fresh spring onions, and rich cream cheese.

Mongolian Beef Ramen
There are two reasons for tossing the beef in cornflour. First, it makes the steak crispy and caramelised on the outside. And second, it helps thicken the sauce. If you don't have any on hand (or you forgot to pick some up), feel free to skip it. But make sure to use it next time! (Rest assured, there will be a next time.)
