Onion Ring Tempura Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Peel and slice the onions into 1/2-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Tempura Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, togarashi seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add ice-cold water until the batter is smooth but still slightly thick.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the tempura batter, allowing excess batter to drip off.

  5. 5

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried onion rings with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with additional togarashi seasoning for sprinkling.
