Method 1 of 2: Quick and Easy Sauteed Onions
Step 1. Buy good onions
Choose one that is unblemished, large, and hard. Don't need too much. One or two onions is enough for a family of 5, depending on the size of the onion.

Step 2. Cut the onion into small pieces
Whether the onion is going to be chopped, sliced, diced is up to you.
Want to know how not to cry when slicing onions? First, let the onions cool down -- chilled onions will be more friendly to your eyes. Then, chop the onion in water or while lighting a candle, or while wearing swimming goggles
Step 3. Turn on the stove or electric fryer on medium heat
Stir-frying involves heating the ingredients very quickly to a high temperature, so make sure your frying pan is hot before you start sauteing.
Step 4. Add oil
Once the frying pan is hot enough, pour the oil. Don't pour too much oil in the beginning; You can add oil while cooking. Use enough oil to evenly coat the bottom of the pan. For every one onion, you only need 1 tablespoon (15 g).
For sauteing, olive oil is a good choice. Butter is also a tasty fat for sautéing onions. If you want to use very low fat fat, try using vegetable stock or chicken stock
Step 5. Add the onions
While cooking, use a spatula to stir the onions so they don't stick to the pan. If you want a more stylish stir fry, you can shake the pan so that the onions pop slightly like a professional cook would. But be careful; You could get splashed with oil.

Keep stirring with a spatula. Do not let the results of your sauteed onions are still half white and raw, while half are almost burnt. Onions cook very quickly, so don't leave your pan, just keep turning the onions so they don't clump.

Step 6. Sauté the onions until soft and browned
When the onions are cooked through (about 5-7 minutes) turn off the heat and place the onions in a separate bowl to cool before serving. You can add the sauteed onions to other parts of the dish, such as sauces, or just eat them right away!
Method 2 of 2: Slightly More Complicated Sautéed Onions
Step 1. Use small white onions
For this recipe, you should not use large onions. For this type of recipe, you should use onions with a size that can go straight into the mouth. Make sure the onions are smooth and firm.
Step 2. Peel the onion
The most exciting thing about this recipe (other than you tasting it after it's cooked, of course) is that all you have to do is peel the onions. No slicing, no mincing, and you won't have to cry.
Step 3. Heat the oil in a large, flat, stainless steel frying pan with high temperature
Let it get really hot. The onions need to be exposed to very high heat initially, for the process to work.
If you're thinking ahead, peel the onions while heating the frying pan. You can not only cook, but can also multitask
Step 4. Add the white onion and balsamic vinegar
Maybe you think the ingredients are only for salad dressing! Saute onions, add vinegar and oil to taste then sprinkle with salt and pepper. If you want to add another special seasoning, add it at this time.
Step 5. Cover the frying pan and lower the stove heat
Cook these small white onions over low heat for about 45 minutes. Stir occasionally so that the onions are evenly cooked.
Step 6. Remove the pan from the heat when the white onions are transparent, brown and soft
This recipe can be made the day before and then paired with other foods -- meat, stew, curry, pasta, or whatever. If you're already salivating, just eat now!
Tips
- The word sauté, which translates to stir-fry in Indonesian, comes from the French sauter, meaning "jump," as many cooks shake the frying pan to move the ingredients under cooking. If you're not skilled at shaking the pan like that, use a spatula.
- If you are using a nonstick skillet, do not use a metal spatula. Use a wooden spatula.
- When chopping onions, wear swimming goggles so you don't cry or put the onions in cold water before cutting them.
Warning
- Don't touch a hot frying pan, and make sure you put it in the sink. But, avoid putting water in the frying pan because it can make the frying warp.
- When you add oil and add onions, be careful not to splash them and scald your skin.
