👨‍🍳 Method

For the Fried onion

  1. 1
    Heat the oil in a large wok over medium heat.
    ⚙ Pan-fryingStoveWok
  2. 2
    Add the onion and fry, stirring, until the onion turns golden.
    ⚙ Adding to the hot fat and fryingStove
    💡Add by cooking time: what needs long (onion, carrot, meat) goes in first, and what burns fast (garlic, dry spices) goes in last, only until fragrant.
  3. 3
    Add the garlic and ginger and fry 1 minute, just until fragrant. Don't let the garlic brown.
    ⚙ Adding to the hot fat and fryingStove
    💡Garlic burns quickly and turns bitter. Add it only after the onion has softened, over medium heat, and add the next ingredient as soon as it smells fragrant.
