Onion strings

By LLRedd

Ingredients

• Dressing/Marinade:
• 3/4 cups canola oil
• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon hot chili oil
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
• 3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced or chopped

Preparation

Step 1

For the onion strings: Slice the onions very thin. Place in a baking dish and cover with the buttermilk and soak. Combine the flour, salt, cayenne and black pepper and set aside.
Heat the oil to 375 degrees in a large pot. Grab a handful of onions, throw into the flour mixture, tap to shake off excess and plunge into the hot oil. Fry for a few minutes and remove to a paper-towel-lined plate as soon as they are golden brown. Repeat until onions are gone.
