061 - ONION RINGS!

Here we are.  Another new post, another new recipe. This recipe is for my favorite side dish when I’m eating fast food. Well, second favorite actually, because frankly, who can beat French fries?.

It’s ONION RINGS, and you’re gonna love it.

=================================

For 2 medium sized portion, you will need;

2 Large Onion. Be careful, onions that are too big tend to have 2 cores, rendering it useless for this dish.

1 cup of All-Purpose Flour

1 Cup of Corn starch

3 tsp of Salt

1 tsp of Paprika

1 tsp of Garlic Powder

1 tsp of Onion Powder

2 tsp of Dried Parsley

1 egg

200 ml of Soda Water, cold.

==================================

Ready? Here We Go!

Step 1 – Trim off the top and the bottom of the onion then proceed to peel the skin. Cut it into thick circles, and then use your fingers to pop each layer into rings. So easy, kindergartens will beat you to it. Set aside.

Step 2 – Get a large bowl and pour the all-purpose flour in. Dredge each onion into flour. Remember, dredgy onion will help the batter sticks better.

Step 3 – With the leftover flour, add the Cornstarch, Salt, Pepper, Paprika, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, and Parsley in. Give it a stir, then add your egg.. After a light whisk, slowly pour the soda water in. Watch out, it’ll sizzle. The batter consistency should match of that Crepe I made few weeks earlier.

Step 4 – Pour a generous amount of oil into the pan, set the stove on medium-high heat. Once it gets smoking hot, dip the onion into the batter, shake off the excess, and deep fry for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Once crisp, let it dry on paper towels.

Step 5 – Serve.

See? It’s good.

Cheers.
