Tips
When using salt during deep-frying it does 2 things: (a) prevents oil from saturating what you deep-fry; and (b) draws moisture to the surface of the onion. The latter is not preferable, as you want it to be crispy. Therefore, if you wish a more crispy crust add salt to the onion immediately after frying; or for less fat content, add salt to the batter.
When you do not measure by weight the amount of flour you use may differ.
If you feel the batter is too thick or too thin adjust it by adding more sparkling water or flour, as needed. You will want the batter to stick to the onion. If you wish to arrange your bloomin onion around a bowl of dip, cut the center of the onion out, about 1-inch, but again, do not cut all the way down when slicing. Then after frying the onion, slice it in sections to fit your plate.
Dip the onion twice if needed.
Allow the onion to bloom in the water prior to deciding on which size pot or deep-fryer to use.
*Adding spices such chili powder and paprika create a darker golden color.

nope. I Should have paid attention to the date and not bothered-there must be newer, better recipes. This was bland, and worst of all, I followed the instructions to a T and when I removed the cooked golden brown onion, all of the breading slid neatly off and into the boiling oil.
This was a giant swing and a miss.
Hi, Can I substitute a grain-free flour for the rice flour?
Sounds great !
Thanks
Sounds delicious! I have a question though: What is the purpose of soaking the onion in hot water? Thank you!
Fada,
Soaking the onion in water causes it to bloom (swell), which separates the pedals.
Enjoy,
Carla
I want to make this!! Sounds awesome.
