Crispy Onion Flowers

Crispy Onion Flowers

Overview

I don't usually like to eat onions, but I ate fried onions outside once, and it was really different from what I usually eat. It tastes crispy on the outside and tender and sweet on the inside. This sweetness is not added with sugar but comes from the onion itself, and it doesn't have the usual onion flavor. This dish is not only delicious but also very beautiful. It can be a great dish for family dinners to show off your skills.

Steps

  1. Wash the onion, peel off the skin, cut off a little bit of the root and remove the stem (be sure not to cut too much, otherwise the flowers will fall apart after cutting). Cut off part of the top as shown, and you don’t need to cut too much.

  2. Cut each part into four parts first, then cut each part into four parts for a total of 16 parts. If you don’t know the depth well, put a pair of chopsticks under the onion so that you won’t cut it all the way through

  9. Add the onion flowers and keep pouring oil on the onion flowers with a spoon until the flowering time is about three minutes. Take the onion flowers out. Heat the oil to a higher temperature than the first time and fry again. This time, the time is shorter, one minute. This will make it crispier.
