- When the crab sticks turn golden, add the sliced onion and stir-fry together until the onion becomes slightly translucent.
- Add 1 tablespoon of ketchup and 2 teaspoons of oyster sauce, and stir-fry quickly so the seasoning coats evenly.

Cooking tips 💡
- To balance the soft texture of crab sticks, avoid overcooking the onion and keep it crunchy.
- If you don't have oyster sauce for umami, substitute with 1 teaspoon of dark soy sauce and it will still be delicious.
- The final sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds enhances visual appeal and makes the dish look more appetizing.
