Green Onion Cakes
Looking for a snack, side, or appetizer? This crunchy dish can check all those boxes! We must warn you though: they are highly addictive, and you won't be able to stop at just one. These cakes are flakey and flavorful, and a perfect side to a nice salad, making your meal complete. We also highly HIGHLY recommend that you accompany these Green Onion Cakes with our Asian Dipping Sauce.
