As a result, the vegetable turns out soft, tender, tasty, but browned.
If you want crispy golden onions, then choose high heat for frying. But in this case, don't move far from the stove and stir.
Sugar
This component is used if you want to make crispy onions. In this case, you can add up to a teaspoon of sugar.
In this case, salt is added at the end to balance the taste. You can also try adding cane sugar - the result will be even more interesting.
