Best 3 Tempura Onion Rings Recipes

TEMPURA BATTERED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Fill a large Dutch oven or fryer with oil and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• Sift dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl and make a well in the center. Crack the egg yolk into a separate bowl and break it up with a fork. Add this to the well in the middle of the flour and slowly pour in the beer as you whisk. Gradually make wider circles with the whisk to incorporate the dry ingredients from the edges - this will minimize the chance of lumps. Continue until all the dry ingredients are mixed and the batter is of a smooth consistency.
• Take the onion rings and remove the thin membrane found between the layers; (otherwise the batter won't stick as well). In a large dish add some rice flour, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Coat each ring in the flour. Dip in the batter and fry in hot oil in batches until golden. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

TEMPURA ONION RINGS

Steps:

• In a wok or large pot, heat oil until a deep-frying thermometer registers 370 degrees. In a medium bowl set over an ice bath, stir yolk with chopsticks or a whisk; add ice water, stirring to combine. Sift flour and cornstarch into egg mixture, stirring to incorporate. Don't worry about a few remaining lumps in the batter.
• Coat onion rings with batter, letting excess drip back into bowl. Fry onion rings in the hot oil in small batches, turning once, until just beginning to color. Drain on paper towel. Repeat process, skimming oil of tempura batter bits as necessary until all onion rings have been fried. If oil becomes dark, begin again with fresh oil. Serve immediately.

BEER TEMPURA ONION RINGS

Steps:

• 1. Set a wire rack on a baking sheet and place in an oven. Preheat the oven to 200°F. Line another baking sheet with paper towels.
• 2. Pour oil into a 7 1/2-quart deep fryer and heat over medium-high heat to 365°F according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• 3. Put 1 cup of the flour in a pie dish or a wide, shallow bowl. In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 1/2 cups flour, salt, onion powder and garlic powder until combined. Add the beer to the seasoned flour and whisk briskly until the batter is smooth.
• 4. Working with a few onion rings at a time, dust them with the flour, then dip them into the beer batter, letting the excess drip off. Using tongs, drop the onion rings, one at a time, into the oil and fry until golden underneath, about 2 minutes. Using a skimmer, turn the onion rings over and fry until golden on the other side, about 2 minutes more.
• 5. Transfer the onion rings to the paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain. Sprinkle with salt, then place on the rack-lined baking sheet in the oven for a few minutes. Repeat with the remaining onion rings, flour and batter.
