Main Ingredients- 1 medium onion
Seasoning Ingredients- 4-5 Tbsp soy sauce (or seasoned soy sauce)
- 1 Tbsp perilla oil (or sesame oil)
- 4-5 Tbsp soy sauce (or seasoned soy sauce)
- 1 Tbsp perilla oil (or sesame oil)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, peel the outer skin of the onion. Trim off the root and stem ends. Cut the onion in half, then slice it into strips about 0.5 cm thick. Slicing them slightly thicker than paper-thin will give them a better texture.
Step 2
Heat a pan over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp of perilla oil. Add the sliced onions and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until they become translucent. This step helps to bring out the natural sweetness of the onions.
Step 3
Once the onions start to turn translucent, pour 4-5 Tbsp of soy sauce around the edges of the pan. This allows the soy sauce to caramelize slightly, enhancing its flavor. Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the onions are well coated with the sauce. Taste as you go and add more soy sauce if needed to suit your preference. For an extra aromatic finish, you can drizzle in a little sesame oil at the end. Serve this delicious stir-fried onion dish over hot rice for a fantastic meal!
