However, everyone's onion turns out different.

Why add sugar

But this culinary trick will allow you to pamper yourself with real caramelized onions, which will become the highlight of any dish.

It is enough to add half a teaspoon of sugar for a positive effect.

In addition to regular sugar, you can also introduce cane and brown sugar.
