Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- onion 2 large (600g)
- vegetable oil 5 tablespoons
- tuna sauce 2 tablespoons
- seasoned soy sauce 0.5 tablespoon
- red pepper powder 2 pinches
- sesame oil 1 tablespoon
- sesame salt to taste
Recipe 🍳
- Slice the onion into strips about 0.5–0.6mm thick, cutting along the grain to preserve texture.
- Heat 5 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan until the oil is sufficiently hot.
- Add the sliced onion to the hot oil and stir-fry rapidly over high heat for about 2 minutes to develop a spicy aroma.
- Add 2 tablespoons of tuna sauce, then pour 0.5 tablespoon of seasoned soy sauce around the edge of the pan to infuse the dish with a smoky, flavorful finish. Turn off the heat.
- Immediately transfer the stir-fried onion onto a wide plate and spread it out to cool quickly using residual heat, preventing sogginess.
- Once the onion has cooled slightly, add 2 pinches of red pepper powder, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and sesame salt, then gently toss to combine.
- Slice the onion thickly along the grain.
- Heat vegetable oil in a pan, then stir-fry the onion over high heat for 2 minutes.
- Add tuna sauce and seasoned soy sauce to adjust seasoning, then turn off the heat.
- Spread the mixture on a wide plate to cool quickly, then mix in red pepper powder, sesame oil, and sesame salt.
Cooking tips 💡
- Use flat, round-shaped 'flat onions' for better sweetness and improved texture when stir-frying.
- Do not let the cooked onion sit in its own heat—immediately spread it out on a wide surface to cool quickly, or it will become soft and lose its crispness.
