SCALLION PANCAKES WITH MAPLE SYRUP SLAW

Steps:

• For the maple syrup slaw: Mix together the vinegar, maple syrup, soy sauce and ginger in a large bowl. Add the carrots and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight, while you prepare the pancakes.
• For the scallion pancakes: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt and baking powder. Stir in 1 cup water to form a dough. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 10 minutes, adding more flour as necessary, until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it sit for 20 minutes.
• For the filling: Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and keep them covered when you're not working with them. Working with 1 piece of dough at a time, roll out a 7- to 8-inch circle. Brush evenly with a thin layer of toasted sesame oil and top with a few turns of black pepper, one-quarter of the scallions and a good pinch of red pepper. Roll it up like a jelly roll and then roll the jelly roll into a spiral snail shape. Roll that out into a 7- to 8-inch circle. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
• Heat 1/8 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium high until shimmering. Fry the pancakes on both sides until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel.
• For serving: Cut the pancakes into 4 wedges. Top with the carrot slaw, toasted sesame seeds and additional scallions.

EDAMAME AND SCALLION SLAW WITH ORANGE LIME DRESSING

Steps:

• Combine dressing ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine. Combine slaw, edamame and scallions in a serving bowl. Toss with dressing and serve.
• If not serving immediately, cover salad with a moist paper towel or clean kitchen towel and refrigerate until ready to serve. Dress salad just before serving.

SAVOY, LIME AND CILANTRO COLESLAW

Steps:

• Shave the cabbage with a sharp knife or mandoline so you have thin ribbons. Cut the scallions long and on the bias so you have pieces similar in shape to the cabbage. Toss the cabbage, scallions and cilantro in a large salad bowl.
• Make the dressing by combining the sour cream, mayonnaise, sugar and the zest of the limes in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper and finish with a squeeze of lime juice. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine.

BACON AND SCALLION COLESLAW

Steps:

• 1. Toss the cabbage in a colander with 1 tablespoon salt. Set aside in the sink to drain, about 1 hour. Rinse, drain well, and pat dry.
• 2. Whisk the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, sugar, celery seeds, cayenne and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the drained cabbage, carrots, apples, and scallions to the dressing. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
• 3. Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat, turning until crisp and golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Crumble and stir into the coleslaw before serving.

APPLE-CABBAGE SLAW

Steps:

• For the salad: Cut the cabbage around the core and julienne. Place in a large bowl and set aside. Core and julienne the apples and add them to the cabbage. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Add the scallion and celery to the cabbage/apple mixture.
• For the dressing: Combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, half the lime juice, vinegar, cumin, and pepper in a small bowl. Add the remaining lime juice to the cabbage/apple mixture to prevent the apples from oxidizing. Season the dressing with salt to taste. Pour over the cabbage/apple mixture and set aside. Roughly chop the parsley and mint and add to the slaw. Toss to coat and let rest several minutes for the flavors to macerate. (Slaw can be made and refrigerated up to two hours in advance.)
• Place slaw in a dish and serve.

BLACKENED FISH TACOS WITH CHILI-SPICED SLAW AND CHARRED SCALLION SALSA

Steps:

• For the fish: Drizzle each fish fillet with oil and sprinkle lightly with salt. Dust both sides of each fillet with a thin, even layer of the taco seasoning.
• Heat a large cast-iron pan on the hottest part of a grill or on the stove over high heat. Add a thin layer of oil to the pan and heat until the oil just begins to smoke. Carefully add the fish and cook, undisturbed, until blackened, about 3 minutes. Gently turn the fish over with a spatula and blacken on the second side, another 3 minutes. Remove the fish to a rack to cool slightly before plating.
• For the slaw: Combine the cabbage, carrots and scallion in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the jalapeno, mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, sugar and chili seasoning in a medium bowl. Add to the cabbage mixture and mix well to combine. Taste for seasoning and add more salt, pepper or sugar if desired.
• Place a few strips of the blackened fish on a warmed soft tortilla and drizzle with Charred Scallion Salsa. Top each taco with slaw and serve with a wedge of lime.
• Preheat a grill for cooking over medium-high heat. Place the scallions and jalapeno on a large plate or baking pan. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Place the vegetables on the grill and cook until charred on all sides, about 10 minutes total.
• Combine the cilantro, scallions and jalapeno in a blender or food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the paprika, garlic, cumin, lime juice and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Store tightly covered in the refrigerator up to 10 days.

LEMON COLESLAW

Steps:

• Whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, zest, lemon juice, sugar, water, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until sugar is dissolved. Add cabbage, carrots, scallions, and parsley and toss well. Chill, covered, 1 hour to allow flavors to develop. Season with salt and pepper.
