Cook with the white part, finish with the green. Quantity is subjective, put as much as looks appealing. I put probably 2-3 tbsp.
More, thinner cuts = stronger taste. If you just want that bright pop of green in a dish, use longer cuts like 1+" long. Check out how they do it with stirfries.
Also. NEVER EVER EVER, throw away the bulb at the end. Put it in dirt, and you’ll grow massive bunches of green onion. After like 10-20 bulbs, I just get year round massive stalks of green onion - it’s fantastic and comes back every year.
It’d be perfect in a planter. You can shove a bunch in there about an 1" or 2" apart. They will get MASSIVE. Like 3x bigger in diameter (not leek big, but still). I probably have about 10-20 bulbs going, and just keep cutting until I have enough for whatever dish I need. I never run out… It takes a short bit for them to get established, but it was one of the best things I’ve done in awhile. I never have to buy them any more…been going that way for almost 3 years now.
I’ve yet to master proper green onion quantity, any tips?
Also do you use a mix of the harder white part and the green?

I probably left 1-2" or so along the bottom. You could likely get away with shorter than that honestly.
