6 spring onions
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons shichimi togarashi or 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature

Steps:

Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Toss onions with oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and black pepper. Grill until lightly charred and wilted, about 3 minutes (extra-large bulbs will take a little longer). Let cool; finely chop.

Do Ahead
Butter can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.

Tips:

Choose the freshest spring onions possible. The younger the onions, the more tender and flavorful they will be.
Char the spring onions until they are slightly blackened. This will give them a delicious smoky flavor.
Use a high-quality sesame oil. This will also add a lot of flavor to the butter.
Be careful not to overcook the butter. If you do, it will become brown and bitter.
Store the butter in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
