INGREDIENTS
2 green onions, green part only,
cut into thin strips
1 cup rice flour
1 cup chilled soda water
Rice bran oil, to deep-fry
1 large brown onion, cut into 1cm
rings, rings separated
1 large red onion, cut into 1cm rings,
rings separated
METHOD
1 Place green onion in a bowl of iced water. Chill for 15 minutes or until onion curls. Drain; pat dry on paper towel.
2 Meanwhile, combine flour and soda water in a bowl. Heat enough oil in a large saucepan to reach a depth of 5cm (oil is ready when a cube of bread crisps quickly without absorbing any oil). Dip onion rings into batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Cook the onion rings, in batches, for 2 minutes or until golden. Drain on paper towel.
3 Serve onion rings topped with green onion curls.
