Onion Strings Ingredients

Method

Onion Strings Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Slice the onion into thin rings and separate them into individual rings.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Gradually whisk in cold water until you achieve a smooth batter.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip the onion rings into the batter, ensuring they are well-coated.

  5. 5

    Fry the Onion Strings

    Carefully drop the coated onion rings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried onion strings with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
