The other day I testing out a new knife and I discovered the magic of stir fried onions.

If any one has ever had black pepper sizzling plate beef at a chinese restaurant, you'll know the taste of those charred onions on the bottom!

I cut an onion in half longitudinally, and then proceeded to slice it up so that little curved strips formed. I heated a non stick frying pan in my case, but probably best to use a wok, to incredibly high heat, added some oil, and threw in the onions with dashes of soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce salt, sesame oil, and lots of ground black pepper. Like LOTS. maybe like a half tablespoon or more. as much as you need to see lovely black speckles of pepper in the dish. then I cooked it until tender but still a bit crunchy. I'm not quite sure on the ingredients, so here are some other bits and bobs I might have added in: mirin, ponzu sauce.

It actually tastes really good for such a simple snack O_O I put it on bread.

It's like a cross between the onions at sausage sizzles and the sizzling plate chinese black pepper onions.
I know it sounds stupid and simple but it's so reminiscent of that sizzling plate dish >.< and onions are the best.
