Korean Style Grilled Onions are a delightful vegetarian dish that combines the sweetness of grilled onions with a savory marinade, perfect for a Korean BBQ experience at home. This dish is not only flavorful but also adds a unique twist to your meal, making it a must-try for onion lovers.

Ingredients

• Large sweet onions - 2
• Soy sauce - 4 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 2 tablespoons
• Rice vinegar - 2 tablespoons
• Brown sugar - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Green onions - 2, chopped (for garnish)
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon (for garnish)

Steps

1. Peel and slice the sweet onions into thick rings, about 1.5 cm thick.
2. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.
3. Place the onion rings in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator.
4. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
5. Remove the onions from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off, and place them on the grill.
6. Grill the onions for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
7. Once grilled, remove the onions from the heat and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
8. Serve the grilled onions warm, garnished with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
