Warm water

The peeled and chopped onion is placed in a colander and placed under a stream of warm water (no more than 60 °C). The vegetable is held under the stream of water for about 40-60 seconds.

Microwave

The second trick is no less simple. The chopped vegetable is sprinkled with salt, and then placed in a microwave oven for 15-20 seconds. After processing, the onion is washed with warm water and dried.

These two gentle tricks will remove unnecessary bitterness, preserve vitamins and give the vegetable a delicate and soft taste.
