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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it begins to foam.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Turn the scallions over and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, water, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens and the scallions are fully tender.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the glazed scallions to a serving platter.

Step 9

Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for garnish before serving.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish or as part of a larger spread.
