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.
