Deep-Fried Sandwiched Sweet Onion and Sweet Miso - sweet onions

Method

• Slice each onion into four round slices across the grain, each about 1 cm thick.
• Then skewer each slice with a toothpick (horizontally through the edge toward the center) to prevent the rings from coming apart.
• Spread the miso on the onions.
• Top with a shiso leaf.
• Then sandwich together with the other slice of onion.
• Combine the ingredients for the batter (it should be slightly thicker than tempura batter), dredge the skewered ingredients from Step 4, then evenly coat in panko.
• Deep fry in medium hot oil (180C) to a golden brown.
• Remove the toothpicks, cut each in half, then transfer to a serving plate.
• Variation: Add [Shio-Koji Soboro]to the sweet miso.
• It can be stored in the freezer, so it's very handy.
• Just sprinkle it onto the miso and sandwich.
