Here Kim interrupts and begins to talk, “Okay, I used to work at McDonald’s, and if you like McDonald’s onions super, you need this: chopped onions, whatever brand – it doesn’t have to be great value.”
“Once you have that, you need some hot water. Hold on, I’m getting mine hot. Once you have hot water, go ahead and pour the chopped onions into the hot water. That’s what we’re going to do. Okay, just what the desired amount is.
“You just leave that for 15 minutes… Okay, it’s been 15 minutes now. We’re going to suck that mess dry.’
Kim uses paper towels to drain the jar.
‘We’re just going to get as much water out as possible. This is exactly how McDonald’s is, to be honest,” she explained.
“Now you’ve got your whole jar of deliciousness, enjoy.”
Below her video, onion aficionados flooded her comment section, saying they were “very grateful” and very “grateful” for the tasty hack.
Kim’s clip has been viewed over a million times and has nearly 60,000 likes.
Another ex-fast food worker confirmed the process in the comments section, saying, “And she’s not lying!” Signed by a former McDonald’s employee.’
A second employee added, “I also worked at McDonald’s and had to rehydrate the onions as well, and I still love these onions, and I don’t know why.”

TikTok followers were quick to flock to Kim’s video to give their huge ‘thanks’
One onion fan wrote: ‘No way! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love onions!!!!’
Someone else said, “Dude, I love TikTok for this reason.”
Another added, “Time to get dried onions in bulk.”
‘Honestly, I really appreciated this! THANK YOU! I’ve always wondered how they did it!’ read a comment.
“I love those onions so much, I’m scared with this knowledge, I’ll make this and eat them with a spoon,” said one TikTok user.
A commenter asked for the next video to be made about where to “get the pickles,” and Kim was willing to respond, writing, “They’re from Turkey. I shot a video this morning.”
