Preparation

Step 1

step 1
Vegetable Oil

2 large Onion (cut into 1/2-inch slices; thin skins between layers removed)

In a heavy bottomed pot filled 3/4 of the way with vegetable oil, bring the temperature to 365 degrees F. Separate the onion slices into rings.

step 2

1 1 /2 cups Rice Flour (plus more for dredging)
1 tablespoon Baking Soda
1 tablespoon Baking Powder

In a medium size bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and baking powder. Dredge the onion rings in the flour mixture and shake off excess. Set aside.

step 3

1 Egg Yolk
1 cup Soda Water (plus more if needed)

In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolk and then slowly pour in the soda water. Whisk until the batter is a smooth consistency. Dip the onion rings in the batter, working in batches.

step 4

1 teaspoon Salt

Deep fry a few of the rings at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel to drain. Season with salt immediately and serve while still hot.
