Main Ingredients- 1 large onion
- 1/2 stalk green onion
For Stir-Frying- 2 Tbsp cooking oil
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
1. Peel and wash the onion thoroughly. Slice it into strips about 0.5 cm thick. Avoid slicing too thinly, as the onions might break apart during stir-frying. Aim for a consistent thickness.
Step 2
2. Cut the green onion diagonally. You can use both the white and green parts for a fragrant aroma. Try not to cut them too long.
Step 3
3. Prepare the delicious seasoning sauce in advance. Combine 3 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp gochugaru, 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic, and 1 Tbsp sesame seeds. Mix them well to create a balanced blend of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors – a golden ratio!
Step 4
4. Heat 2 Tbsp of cooking oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions and stir-fry until they become translucent and start releasing their sweetness. Cooking slowly over medium-low heat is key; high heat can cause burning.
Step 5
5. Once the onions are sufficiently translucent, add the sliced green onions and the prepared seasoning sauce. Stir everything together quickly to coat the onions and green onions evenly. Continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the flavors meld. For a slightly crisp texture, don’t overcook.
