Hello this is chef John from foodwishes.com with an unbelievably incredibly great onion ring recipe
these are the most incredible onion rings ever you know I'm normally pretty modest and
humble that's one of the things that makes me so awesome
but I have to say these are incredible best in the world
alright we're going to start with some regular flour and cornstarch so it's
kinda similar to a tempura batter basically but there's my secret
ingredient instant mashed potatoes
believe it alright a little cayenne
so I'm going to whisk up the dry ingredients
and then i'm gonna add club soda you have to get the exact amounts on food wishes
we're going to stir that in which is just going to take a minute
by the way don't worry about developing gluten or the batter is going to be tough, it's not
this is unbelievable
now looks pretty thin there but as it sits the instant mashed potato even though
it's just a little bit is going to swell up and absorb some of that liquid
it's going to be perfect
alright we're going to put panko breadcrumbs the other secret in a shallow pan you get those
in any store stop emailing me you can't find panko you can
big supermarkets have them
i like to use not super big but kinda medium yellow onions do not cut them any
thicker than a quarter inch otherwise they won't cook
separate them into rings I didn't need to tell you that right
alright so there we go this is only like ten minutes later our batter has
thickend slightly
and it's perfect
we're going to dump in a few rings at a time
make sure they get coated with the batter which is pretty much going to drip off but
enoughs going to stick on there to latch onto these panko breadcrumbs these
sharp incredibly crispy bread crumbs
by the way do as i say not as you just saw me do use a separate fork for the
crumbs and a separate fork to pull them out of the batter much easier
alright we are going to fry these and I'm not doing a deep fry demo just standard three fifty
i'm using olive oil but any standard vegetable oil frying oil is going to work
its going to go maybe three two-and-a-half three minutes and when it comes out that
magic formula that I've come up with with the potato and the panko produces the most
crispiest onion ring I've ever had ever anywhere alright now if you can hear this
that is not fake sounds that is the actual crunchiness
and now you just have to listen to this
come on unbelievable alright that was really bland cause there was no salt
make sure you salt generously before serving with some very fine sea salt
so it sticks on there let me finish this I know this is so rude
but come on admit it you want to hear it
and that's it
super crispy amazing onion rings and here is really the ultimate test
lots of different recipes are crunchy right when they come out of the oil ok the real test
does it stay crunchy? and you're going to see and hear now is literally to the second
fifteen minutes later these sat on this rack for fifteen minutes and this is
what they sound like
your honor
I rest my case
anyway i hope you give it a try go to the site all of the ingredients are there
and as always Enjoy!
