(Thai-style cold onions)
In the Chinese dinner table, onions generally as the identity of the ingredients exist, mainly used in stir-fried dishes, almost with most of the vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.1. Cold onions, that is, eaten raw, with hot water can be, with a little bit of vegetable sauce with the mixing of eating. There are also put on top of mixed noodles, rice noodles. As long as you can stand the taste on the line, heard a statement, in fact, raw nutritional value is higher; 2 Vegetarian: the most famous and most simple onion scrambled eggs, fried shredded potatoes, fried peppers, fried fungus, as long as you like, can be combined with up to fry. This I have eaten in addition to the first, I feel is a perfect match, the other has seen but no sense; 3 meat: this is usually used more, because the general meat itself taste heavy, we are used to onions to "pressure flavor", is also a "flavor", so with the down will be more delicious. Onion fried pork slices, fried beef, chicken tenders, stewed duck, and fried all kinds of internal organs, pig liver, pig heart, pig intestines, etc. 4, make soup, this is what I want to focus on recommending. I also want to answer this question is the main reason. Many people can accept fried vegetables with onions, but for the refreshing soup with onions, think it is very strange, especially as a southerner with light taste. But after trying, will like, because onions after cooking soup really do not have that kind of exciting flavor. Introduce a few ways to match:
One with mushrooms and cream. French cuisine used in the warm soup before the main course. It's onions (to be sauteed first), cream, a little white wine, sugar, salt and pepper, stewed in beef stock or chicken stock. Or it's just chopped mushrooms, whipped cream, half an onion, water, and salt brought to a boil and simmered for five minutes. This is perfect for afternoon tea with a bakery snack.
Two with miso sauce. This is very simple, cut the onion into julienne or small pieces, directly into the water together with the cooking (water at least did not pass the onion); after the water boiled and then boiled for a while, the onion is softened very good bite on the good. This time the onion and soup are not stimulate the flavor; and then in the bowl put a good flavor increase sauce (go to imported supermarkets are sold), the water drinking onions poured in, and blend well on the good. If you like, you can also add seaweed slices, or boiled small pieces of potato. The flavor is very fresh! This feels great for appetizers.
Three with tomatoes. Onion and tomato beef brisket soup can be tried, tomatoes will neutralize the onion, not so sweet and sour, and not spicy, the taste of light.
Running on the high nutritional value of onions, but also inexpensive, from gazpacho, stir-fry, soup, pasta to snacks for a variety of uses, there is time to do more to try!
