This is actually the same thing as Onion ‘Kakiage’ Tempura. ‘Kakiage’ is a type of Tempura made with a variety of thinly sliced or chopped Vegetables and Seafood. The most popular ingredient is probably Onion. I pan-fried the mixture instead of deep-frying it. This humble Onion Pancake is very tasty.

Steps

10 minutes

1

Mix the Batter ingredients in a mixing bowl. Alter the amount of Water to make THICK Batter.

'Kakiage' Tempura
2

Add thinly sliced Onion to the batter and mix well to combine.
3

Heat Oil in a frying pan over medium low heat, form a large pancake OR 2 to 4 smaller pancakes, and cook until both sides are nicely browned and crispy.
4

Cut into smaller pieces if large, and serve with ‘Ponzu’. I recommend to add some Crispy Chilli Oil OR Rāyu (Chilli Oil) to the sauce.
