Add a pinch of sugar to the pan and you will see what the result will be. The sweetness will not be felt in the finished dish, but the onion itself will cook much faster and will be soft and tender in taste.

Moreover, this life hack is definitely worth putting into practice by people who do not like the spiciness of fresh vegetables.

When to add sugar

First, heat vegetable oil or melt butter in a frying pan. Then add chopped onion and fry for a couple of minutes over medium heat.

After this, add a pinch of sugar, mix thoroughly and reduce the heat.

Fry the onion until it becomes golden brown, remembering to stir the contents of the pan from time to time.
