Was going to try it this weekend, but due to a work issue, it'll have to wait... from the videos I've looked at, semi-cooked. You dump one cup of flakes, one cup of very hot water, work it together, then toss in a cup-ish of flour and an egg for binding.... work into a dough and portion it out. Relatively simple enough. I was thinking the green onions only because I have copious amount of them, but I might try your suggestions or mix in some savoury asian sauces I have sitting in my fridge (one of my bad habits is picking up a bottle/jar of sauce to try it and then forgetting to use it up).... or I do have some goat cheese that might work in well with this stuff..
