I have a love for Tempura Onion Rings! My stomach not so much, but on occasion I override it's whining and make them anyway. I decided while I was busy breading and frying to add some zucchini, mushrooms, and then I opened a package of Phillipino Lumpia Rolls and fried those suckers up too, soo yummy! A plate full of greasy yumminess!
Tempura Batter
1 cup of flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 1/2 cups of seltzer water (ice cold)
Salt
Mix the batter together but don't overmix.
I will tell you my husbands secret for the best onion rings, slice them thickly, place in a bowl of cold water, let sit for 10 minutes and peel the skin off the inside of the ring, it really helps the batter stick.
Slice your zucchini, leave the skin on
Remove the dirt from the mushrooms and take out the stem, if large, cut in half
I have a deep fryer and use peanut oil, but if you don't just put peanut oil in a (pan 2-3 inches), and heat to 350 degrees.
Put the veggies into the batter, coat them well, and cook until they are golden brown.
I serve with Ranch Dressing

I love tempura anything! Well, except eggplant, but I am alllergic to it. This is the exact same batter I use. I like to get portabellos and slice them and fry them like this! Much love - Raquel XO
Hey - how come I didn't get any? These onion rings are the best ever and the rest looks divine too. Great job Cheryl.
Onion rings! Battered Zucchini! Mushrooms! YUM, YUM, YUM! I've not made tempura batter batter before, and yourslooks great. I'm not familiar with those rolls, but I'm sure I'd snarf those down, too.
Tempura onion rings do sound really good.
