Trim bulbs from onions at point where stems begin to turn green. Trim remaining stems to a lenght of about 4 inches [10 cm], cutting off tops if necessary. Reserve bulbs and remaining tops for another use. Using a sharp knife, cut each section of the green stems lengthwise into very thin strips down to the beginning of the stem, cutting about 6 to 8 strips in each stem. Fill a medium or large bowl half full with cold water. Add green onions, then ice cubes. Refrigerate until green onions curl, about 1 hour. Drain green onion curls. Use as garnish.
