The great scallion experiment!

One of my good friends wants a ramen pendant!

Ramen,  I can do that!  So that starts the thought process...what goes into ramen, lets take a look at a couple of pictures.
This one appears to be a curry ramen.  Mushrooms, a soy marinated hard boiled egg, bamboo shoots, fish cake, sprouts, cabbage, scallions, etc.

This one has halved hard boiled eggs, scallions, char siu.

So the first challenge posed is scallions.  They're super tiny!!!  They're hollow! So how do we figure that out?  I decided to do a version of the celery cane I made.  Use translucent to make up for odd shapes or to provide support for certain shapes.  

First, roll out a nice spring green color

Wrap the spring green around a core of translucent
Roll it suuuuuper tiny
When the cane is fresh out of the oven, cut very thin slices.  Here they are in one of the bowls.
Now you can easily see the translucent remaining in this, but once they're plunked into a little bit of clay broth, they'll just be a collection of hollow green :)
