Onion Jam

  • Author: Funky Asian Kitchen
  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 75 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 1/2 cups 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Large Yellow onions
  • 4 Tablespoons neutral oil
  • ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
  • ½ teaspoon coriander seeds
  • ½ cup rice wine vinegar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Trim the onions, peel them and cut them into quarters. Next, slice them into ¼ inch pieces.
  2. Add the oil, cumin seeds, and coriander seeds to a heavy medium sized pot. Turn the heat to medium low and cook the spices for a couple of minutes, pushing them around with a wooden spoon, until fragrant. 
  3. Add the onions, rice wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Bring the pot to a simmer over high heat and then lower the heat to medium, cover with a lid and let simmer for 15 mins, stirring occasionally.
  4. Uncover and add the sugar and soy sauce. Stir the onions, lower the heat to medium low and cover with a lid. Cook for about an hour until the onions are soft and syrupy. 
  5. Use onion jam immediately or store in the fridge until ready to use. You can use these as a condiment for grilled meats, a topping for rice bowls or noodles, or as a great sandwich addition.

Notes

*This onion jam stores very well in the fridge. Be sure to use a clean utensil when scooping it out and keep it in an airtight container. This jam keeps for a couple of weeks.
