Fried Onion Ring

….Onion is one of my favorite ingredients and my family likes it also. Onions are a staple in the kitchen. It’s good to add some onions with various foods, and you can use it to reduce some added sugar into food. Onions not only provide flavor, but they also provide important nutrients. Onions may be among the vegetables that will be prized not only for their addition to our cuisine, but for their value-added health characteristics. My daughters have loved onions since they were little, so there was no difficulty in eating them together. When my daughters were young, I made this dish often as a snack. It’s been a really long time since I made fried onion rings. Always the whole family ate it because they were crunchy. It is common knowledge that chopping onions causes watery eyes. To reduce tears during chopping, I recommend chilling an onion for 30 minutes then cutting off its top. The person should then peel the outer layer of the onion and leave the root intact, as this part has the highest concentration of lachrymatory agent. It doesn’t need any specific recipe.
