- To one portion of the marinated onions, add olive oil (to taste) and coarsely ground black pepper (to taste), then mix. (Western-style variation)
- To another portion of the marinated onions, add soy sauce (to taste) and bonito flakes (to taste), then mix. (Japanese-style variation)
- To a further portion of the marinated onions, add chili oil (to taste) and toasted white sesame seeds (to taste), then mix. (Chinese-style variation)
