To make the dressing, the 41-year-old cook said you will need to get two tablespoons of rice vinegar, one tablespoon of sugar, some black pepper, half an onion, two tablespoons of soy sauce and half a cup of grapeseed oil.
At a push, he said, you could use olive oil instead of grapeseed.
You’ll need to grate the onion incredibly finely in order to make sure no one is crunching on raw onion when they enjoy the dressing.
How to make Adam Liaw’s onion salad dressing
INGREDIENTS
Many of the ingredients are pantry staples, alongside a couple more unusual like rice vinegar (the dressing pictured)
* Two tablespoons of rice vinegar
* One tablespoon of sugar
* Black pepper
* Half an onion
* Two tablespoons of soy sauce
* Half a cup of grapeseed oil
METHOD
1. Grate the onion incredibly finely using either a Japanese grater, a microplane, the ‘raspy’ side of a box grater or purée it in a food processor.
2. Mix all of the other ingredients together.
3. Add in the onion and shake the jar well.
4. Drizzle over salads, roasted vegetables and barbecues.
Adam (pictured) said the dressing also works really well on barbecues and is perfect for the Easter long weekend – which many will be spending isolated to slow the COVID-19 spread
‘I grate the onion on a Japanese grater but you could use a microplane, the raspy side of a box grater or even just purée it in a food processor,’ Adam said.
Once you’ve chopped your onion, you merely need to assemble your other ingredients – and mix and shake it well.
‘Adding a few drops of sesame oil will really make this pop,’ one commenter said.
‘This is literally the best dressing I’ve ever made, thanks for sharing,’ another added.

Previously, Adam revealed the staples that every household should have in their pantry or larder during the coronavirus pandemic.
Adam said foods like dried mushrooms, salt, eggs and polenta should all be mainstays in a family kitchen.
‘Dried mushrooms add a big punch of umami and a meaty texture to dishes, and reconstituting them in water gives you an instant mushroom stock,’ Adam told Good Food.
For vegetarians or vegans, Adam said dried shiitake is perfect for grating over pasta dishes.
The chef also said you should always keep eggs on hand – at least half a dozen – as then you can make fried rice, cakes, omelettes, boiled or scrambled eggs and even mayonnaise.
‘Polenta is a very underrated apocalypse food. What I like about it is that is that it’s a different meal every day,’ Adam said.
He said polenta can be served as a hot porridge, baked, fried, or grilled.
