Korean dae-pa are larger than the green onions you are used to. They resemble thin leeks, except their green leaves are hollow and slightly slimy inside, like a scallion. In Korean cuisine, they’re used in soups and stews because they have a mild, sweet, rich flavor.
They are easily found in in Korean grocery stores. You can use green onions as a substitute but the dae-pa are sweeter and more aromatic.
Hi Maangchi
Would like to ask that the Green Onion pic above looks like Leek, is it find that i use leek to replace green onion? Thank you.
Leek and dae-pa are different. Large green onions, called dae-pa tastes sweeter than usual green onions (scallions).
