Main Ingredients- 2 medium onions
Tangy Sweet Pickle Dressing- 6 Tbsp soy sauce
- 6 Tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 2 Tbsp water
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp mustard powder (or whole grain mustard)
- 6 Tbsp soy sauce
- 6 Tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 2 Tbsp water
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp mustard powder (or whole grain mustard)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by selecting two fresh, medium-sized onions. Peel them and then slice them thinly into matchsticks. To enhance their crispiness and mellow out their sharpness, soak the julienned onions in cool water for about 10 minutes. After soaking, drain them thoroughly, ensuring all excess water is removed.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients: 6 tablespoons of soy sauce, 6 tablespoons of vinegar, 2 tablespoons of water, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1/2 tablespoon of mustard powder. Whisk everything together with a fork or a small whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved, creating a harmonious and flavorful dressing.
Step 3
Place the drained, julienned onions into a clean bowl. Pour the prepared dressing evenly over the onions. Gently toss to ensure every strand is coated with the delicious sauce. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the onions to pickle. This quick marination results in a wonderfully crisp and refreshing side dish that perfectly complements rich, savory meals. For an even deeper flavor, you can let them pickle for an additional 10-20 minutes.
