I have searched long and hard for an Asian-inspired caramelized onion recipe and I’m quite happy with this one. I love to make a batch of these soy sauce caramelized onions. They go with anything — toast, focaccia, sandwiches. These last for a week or so in the fridge so I like to make a big batch and have them handy. A great way to level up a quick lunch or snack on the go.

Caramelized Onions with Soy Sauce

Ingredients

• 2 large onions, halved and sliced into thin rings

• 4 tbsp vegetable oil, for frying

• 1/2 tbsp sugar

• 2 tbsp soy sauce

Instructions

1. In a medium-large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add the onions and fry for 2-3 minutes. Lower the heat to medium-low and fry until onions are browned, caramelized, and soft. Around 20-25 minutes. If the onions start to burn, lower the heat.

2. Add the soy sauce, sugar and cook for another 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if need. Serve warm or store in a container. These last in the fridge for a week or so.
