Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Onions

    Peel the onions and slice them into thin rings. Aim for uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add water while whisking until you achieve a smooth batter.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough for frying (around 350°F or 175°C).

  2. 4

    Coat the Onions

    Dip the sliced onion rings into the batter, ensuring each ring is well coated. Allow excess batter to drip off.

  3. 5

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried onion rings from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Season with additional salt if desired. Serve hot.
