vegetable oil 1.5 tablespoons

soy sauce 1 tablespoon

sugar 1/3 tablespoon

oyster sauce 0.5 tablespoon

sesame oil 0.5 tablespoon

Recipe

Slice the onion into slightly thick pieces, then separate them into strands for easier stir-frying.
Heat 1.5 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan over high heat and stir-fry the onions until golden brown.
Reduce the heat, then add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1/3 tablespoon of sugar, and 0.5 tablespoon of oyster sauce. Stir quickly to season.
Once the seasoning is well incorporated, add 80g of prepared nureongji and stir-fry together to enhance the rich aroma and texture.
Drizzle with 0.5 tablespoon of sesame oil and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds. Mix gently, then turn off the heat and serve.

Stir-fry sliced onions in vegetable oil until golden.
Add soy sauce, sugar, and oyster sauce, then stir-fry before adding nureongji and mixing well.
Finish by drizzling sesame oil and sprinkling toasted sesame seeds.

Cooking tips

Adding soy sauce too early can cause the onions to burn before they're fully cooked, so make sure to cook the onions thoroughly first before adding the seasoning.
To preserve the crisp texture of nureongji, add it at the very end and stir-fry briefly just before finishing.
