Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 spring onions
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons shichimi togarashi or 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Toss onions with oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and black pepper. Grill until lightly charred and wilted, about 3 minutes (extra-large bulbs will take a little longer). Let cool; finely chop.
