Is that what japan onions are like? I dislike onions intensely, I had a meal that was 30 percent onion in japan and i had no issue finishing it. It went well with the peppered beef.
Do you normally dislike cooked onions? Raw onion is very oniony, but cooking really mellows them out.
I dislike raw onions, but I use them to cook all he time. I recognize that cooked onions add a great flavor to the food. The onions in this dish were just quickly sautéed, barely cooked as they were still crunchy and not brown at all. I joke with my fiancee that Japanese onions are so polite they don’t even make you cry lul.
I don’t know what the soil composition of Japan is, but shouldn’t it be high in sulfur considering it’s a volcanic archipelago?
That’s a very good point. Maybe their onions are just naturally not as oniony as others or I could just have had some imported onions from a non sulfury country.
Or it’s just a different onion variety or cook it a certain way. The generalization of Japanese cuisine is subtlety. Their sweets aren’t very sweet. Their sours aren’t very sour. Their hots aren’t very hot. Yeah, you can find exceptions, but a lot of westerners living in Japan eventually get homesick for some Mexcian food or a good, hard deli bread.
