But, the have lots of versions of this too.
They use it as garnishes a lot and it's extremely flavorful. My mom likes to add/boil it in with her chicken stock and boy it adds a world of flavor.

I do not know what the correct name is, but the generous TVillian, whom I got seeds from in a trade, got her seeds from someone in China at a market..?? I will have to go back to her thread in case I am mistaken.. This is the name she listed it as..
I just pulled them up recently, so have not had a chance to use them in a dish, but I think I am going to make a Shandong Sauce using the green onions, and I will make a Shandong chicken recipe to go with it.. Also, I saw a recipe where they wrapped the green onions in a tortilla.
Big thank you to NWG...
