Best Charred Spring Onions Teriyaki Tofu Recipes

CHARRED SPRING ONIONS

Steps:

• If your barbecue hasn't already been heated, light and heat until the ashes turn grey, or heat a griddle pan. Wash the spring onions and pat dry. Trim off the ends, then place the onions directly on the barbecue or in a hot griddle pan.
• When the spring onions have softened and blackened, take off the heat and move to a hot spot on the barbecue top to keep warm before serving.

DEEP-FRIED SPRING ONIONS

Steps:

• In a large, deep pot, pour in 2 inches of oil and heat to 350 degrees. Put the buttermilk and flour in separate shallow bowls.
• Trim the tops of the onions so they fit comfortably in the pan. Remove the outer layer and trim the bottom of each onion, then halve them lengthwise (or wedge them if they are thick).
• Dip half the onions in buttermilk, then dredge in flour and fry for 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown and tender. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate and season with salt. Repeat with remaining onions.
