French Onion Laksa

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until they are softened and caramelized, stirring occasionally.

   Tip: The coconut milk will add a rich, creamy texture to the soup.

   Add the fish sauce, soy sauce, and lemon juice to the saucepan and stir to combine.

   Tip: These sauces will add a salty, umami flavor to the soup.
