["Peel onion down to the thinnest outside membrane. If it comes off, don't worry. Carefully cut an X in the bulb bottom. Place all in a microwavable bowl. Cover with cling wrap. You can also microwave in individual bowls (cups) if they are also made for the microwave. I used HIGH (900 w) for 5 minutes, then let it rest.", "SAUCE: Bring the broth or dashi to a boil. Add the ginger, sake, soy sauce, mirin, and salt. Boil just a minute or so. Remove from heat.", "In a skillet, saute the beef until looses the pink color, then add the enoki. Saute a minute or two until the enoki have 'wilted' and are soft.", "With a paper towel and a spatula remove excess oil in skillet. Then add broth to the beef mixture. Bring back to a boil.", "Mix the katakuriko again in the water until well stirred, then add slowly to the broth while stirring. After about a minute, it should thicken up. Remove from heat.", "Microwave the onions for another 2 minutes or so (depends on the size).", "TO SERVE: Carefully move the onion to the serving dish. Spoon some sauce over the top and around edges. Sprinkle with a few rosemary flowers.", "DASHI: I like konbu (sea vegetable) dashi better than katsuo (bonito flakes). Easier to clean up too. Just boil a piece of konbu in water for awhile (10 minutes). But you can buy bottled dashi-just remember that it is concentrated so you need to dilute with water.", "VEGAN or VEGETARIAN: Just leave out beef. Still tastes delicious!", "NOTE* OTHER VARIETIES OF SWEET ONIONS--Imperial Valley Sweets from southern California, The Carzalia Sweet Onion, the Sunbrero Sweet Onion, the Glennville Sweet Onion, The Pecos Onions, Texas 1015 Super Sweet and Maui Sweet Onion.
