Lin Xu turned on the stove to heat the oil. Without waiting for the oil to get hot, he dumped the sliced red onions from the basket into the pot.
Red onion is a type of onion that doesn't grow very large. Because of its rich, oniony flavor and natural sweetness, it has become an indispensable ingredient in many gourmet dishes. Frying sliced red onions in oil until they are dry and crispy creates what is known as fried crispy red onions.
Frying red onions requires patience. Slow fry them on low heat. Only when the red onion slices are fried to a uniform golden brown can they be considered done.
Once the red onions are fried crispy, take them out and drain the oil. When added during the braising process, they can make Braised Meat Rice incredibly flavorful.
As for the scallion oil, it wouldn't go to waste either. It was used to stir-fry pork belly, which gave the braised meat an even richer aroma.
