Spring Rolls and Stir-Fries Highlighting Long Onions
The updated Kurashiru collection begins with a fried roll utilizing two spring roll sheets, one stalk of long onion, six perilla leaves, and a touch of plum paste. Cooks make vertical cuts in the long onion, insert the plum paste inside the outer layer, wrap it alongside perilla leaves in the spring roll wrapper, seal it with water-mixed flour, and fry it in 170°C oil for two minutes. Another featured dish pairs 1.5 stalks of long onion with one pack of enoki mushrooms and half a pack of shimeji mushrooms. These ingredients are sautéed in sesame oil before being tossed in a mixture of mayonnaise and ponzu sauce, finished with a dash of Ichimi red pepper.
Microwave Methods for Quick Long Onion Side Dishes
For faster preparation, the selection includes a microwave recipe utilizing four chicken tenderloins, half a stalk of long onion, and a mixture of three tablespoons of ponzu and one tablespoon of cooking sake. Heated in a 600W microwave for three minutes, the mixture is combined and served beneath a single hot spring egg and Ichimi pepper. A parallel microwave option wraps six half-slices of bacon and six equal cuts of melting cheese around six long onion pieces, seasoned with salt, pepper, and olive oil, then heated for two minutes before being dusted with dried parsley.
