• Add canned foods after draining and rinsing thoroughly: water chestnuts, baby corn, and bamboo shoots.
• In a frying pan, add peanut oil and cook on medium-high heat for a minute or two until oil is heated to desired temperature (when the fat begins to "ripple").
• Add chopped onions and stir to coat with oil. Add a pinch of salt to absorb water from onions and to speed up caramelizing.
• Continue to stir the onions. Onions will begin to stick to the pan a bit (which is good) and will begin to darken. If the onions are sticking too much, add a small amount of water to deglaze. Keep stirring.
• Continue the deglazing process until onions are a deep, rich brown.
• Add garlic to onions and cook for an additional minute.
• Pour a ladle of soup into the frying pan to stop the cooking process and help loosen any onions and garlic stuck to the frying pan. Add contents of frying pan to soup.
• Allow soup to cook for several hours to bring out flavors. Add pepper and crushed red pepper flake to taste.
