Japanese · Appetizer · 25 min total

Crispy, light, and savory onion rings with a Japanese twist, using panko breadcrumbs and a hint of soy sauce for umami.

Ingredients

• 1 large sweet onion, sliced into 1/2-inch rings
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup cold water
• 1/4 cup ice-cold vodka
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• Vegetable oil, for deep frying

Instructions

1. Separate onion slices into rings. Pat dry with paper towels.
2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
3. In another bowl, combine cold water, vodka, and egg. Whisk until frothy.
4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and whisk until smooth batter forms. Stir in soy sauce.
5. Place panko in a shallow dish.
6. Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).
7. Dip each onion ring into batter, letting excess drip off, then coat with panko, pressing gently.
8. Fry in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
9. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips

• Vodka helps create a crispier texture; substitute with ice water if needed.
• For extra crunch, double-coat by dipping in batter and panko twice.
• Serve with soy sauce mixed with a squeeze of lemon or a spicy mayo.
