How to sauté onions

Heat the pan over medium to high heat.

Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan and tilt it to evenly coat the surface. Carefully add the chopped onions to the pan.

Keep the onions moving by stirring and flipping them with a wooden spoon or spatula. Continue until the onions are evenly cooked and golden brown.

Remember, the key difference between sautéing and stir-frying is that sautéing allows vegetables to brown, which enhances their flavour.

Safety tips:

• Be careful when adding onions to the hot pan, as the oil may splatter.
• Use a long-handled spoon or spatula to stir the onions and keep your hands away from the heat.
• If the pan becomes too hot and the onions start to burn, reduce the heat.
• Never leave the pan unattended while sautéing, as the high heat can cause food to burn quickly.
