Pickled Onions

I prepared a feast with many red meat (beef, lam, duck) and needed a side dish that can cuts through the oily flavours. Hence, I decided to make this pickled onions dish as a side. 


Ingredients: 
- 5 large red onions 
- 2 cups of water 
- 2 cups of white rice vinegar 
- 2/3 cup of sugar 
- 2 tablespoons of salt 
- 2 bay leaves. 

Procedures: 
1) Slice red onions. Place it in a large container. 
2) In a pot, add water, white rice vinegar, sugar, salt and bay leaves. Boil until the sugar dissolves. 
3) Pour the liquid mixture into the container until all the red onion slices are submerged. 
4) Keep it overnight in a fridge.
