Curly Ramen Crunch Onion Rings Recipes

CRUNCHY PICKLED RED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Peel the onions and slice them ¼ " thick; separate the slices into rings. Divide the onion rings amoung 3 clean, dry pint canning jars.
• To the onions in each jar add 6 whole cloves, 6 peppercorns, 1 teaspoons mustard seed and ½ teaspoons celery seed.
• Combine the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, turmeric and cinnamon in a stainless-steel or other non-reactive saucepan. Heat to boiling, then simmer 2 minutes.
• Fill the jars with the hot liquid, leaving ¼ " of headspace. Remove any air bubbles by running a long thin knife blade or a cooking chopstick around the inside walls of the jars and add liquid if necessary to maintain the ¼ " of headspace.
• For refrigerator storage - let the jars cool uncovered, then cover with a doubled sheet of plastic wrap and a cap, any kind, that fits the jar. Refrigerate for at least 2 weeks before serving. The pickles keep (and improve) for many months in the fridge.

CURLY RAMEN CRUNCH ONION RINGS

Steps:

• To make batter, blend flour, salt, pepper in a bowl. Add in beaten eggs and beer.
• Break off half of one block of the ramen noodles and pulse it in a food processor or blender until finely ground.
• Stir the ground ramen noodles into the batter and set aside.
• Break up the remaining noodles into small chunks and either process them carefully in small batches until they're chopped into small bits (but not ground) or put them in a heavy duty plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin or soup can.
• Spread the crushed noodles in a shallow bowl and shake the contents of the flavor packet over them; mix thoroughly.
• Heat 1/2 to 3/4 inches oil in a heavy skillet to 375 degrees.
• Dip an onion ring into the batter, coating thickly, and dredge in the crushed noodles. Lay it gently into the oil and cook until golden, turning once. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining rings. You can do 2-3 at a time depending on the size of your skillet, but take care not to crowd the pan or let the temperature drop too much, or the rings will turn out greasy.
• Enjoy alone, or with your favorite dip(Rainforest Cafe Safari Sauce, sweet Thai chili sauce, those leftover packets of duck sauce are all good).

BEER BATTER ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Put the flour into a bowl and make a well in the center.
• Pour the beer into the well and whisk until combined.
• Let rest, covered for 1 hour.
• Peel onions and cut crosswise 1/3 inch thick and separate into rings.
• Dust the onion rings with the additional flour, shaking off the excess, and coat them with the batter.
• Working in batches, fry the onion rings in 2 inches of preheated 370 degrees, oil until they are golden.
• Transfer them with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and sprinkle them with salt to taste.

BAKED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Mix together the cereal, sugar, paprika, garlic salt, and seasoned salt.
• Separate onion sices into rings- you will only need to use the large size rings, save the smaller rings for another use.
• Beat egg until foamy in a small bowl.
• Dip onion rings into first the egg, then coat with seasonings (you may need another egg or a little extra seasoning mixture if your onions are particularly large).
• Set on greased baking sheets in one layer.
