New onion with crab meat sauce

Peel the new onion, cut off the top and root ends, and slice it horizontally in half

Heat a frying pan, add a small amount of oil (not included in the ingredients list), and sauté the onions until lightly browned. Sauté for about 5 minutes, basting with a small amount of oil occasionally, until cooked through

Transfer the onions to a deep tray, add enough Chinese soup to cover them, and steam in a steamer for 20-30 minutes

Prepare the crab meat sauce.
Heat a frying pan, add the scallion oil, soy sauce, and crab meat.

Add Shaoxing wine and Chinese soup stock, bring to a boil, and add salt, pepper, and sugar to taste

Add the cornstarch mixture to thicken the sauce. Once thickened, remove from the heat and slowly stir in the well-beaten egg whites

Place the onions from step [3] in a bowl and pour the crab meat sauce from step [6] over them. Garnish with sansho leaves if desired, and it's ready
