Sweet Pickled Onions

by Vegin Vegan Vegun!
This is such a lovely recipe for vibrantly colored Sweet Pickled Onions that use beets. Thanks to the sweetness of the beets, these onions have a slightly sweet taste without adding sugar. But if you'd like, you can always sweeten them up by adding a bit of sugar!

  • 50 g Fresh Onion

A

  • 20 g beets cooked

Instructions
 

  • Cut: Cut the onion in half and slice them so as to break their fibers (horizontally).
    ※If you're concerned about the pungency, simply soak the onions in water for 5-10 minutes and drain well before using. But if you marinate them overnight after mixing them with the seasonings, the pungency will decrease and the sweetness will increase. So you can choose whichever method you prefer.
