Remove the onion ring and place on a plate with layers of paper towel to soak excess oil. When it is golden brown, use a chopstick or a tong to turn the onion ring over. This enables the batter to stick to the onion. The trick is not to move the onion ring immediately after placing into the wok (I'm Chinese so I like to use the wok) or pan. Dip the onion ring into the batter and deep-fry in hot vegetable oil. (As the taste is fairly consistent, why waste?) Slice the onions into rings. I also added the excess sauce from the potato salad to the batter. Whisk the ingredients until the batter is smooth. Otherwise, I followed her recipe to the T. To add some richness to the sauce, I added a slice of cheddar cheese into the milk. I substituted cream with milk as I didn't have any cream at home. Serve with mustard of your choice, tabasco sauce or home-made thai style green chili sauce (something we picked up from our 18 months in Bangkok).Ĭlick above to see Tracy's recipe from her Makanning blog. Wrap 2 pieces of bacon (streaky or smoked back bacon, depending on your preference) over the sausage (take your pick - Vienna, Hungarian, Pepper, Garlic, Chorizo, etc, etc). Last, but not least, a simple salad to ease my guilty 'healthy' conscience. I also made Tracy's yummy potato salad but had to make some adjustments as I didn't have cream in my fridge. I was looking forward to trying out the homemade version as you could only taste the batter and not the onion in the commercial frozen onion rings. To accompany the sausages, I experimented with home-made onion rings, again inspired by another program called Restaurant Makeover on AFC (by now you would have guessed I'm a big fan of AFC). It was my little compromise on an otherwise not very healthy meal (but taste oh so good.). However, I chose to use smoked back bacon as the meat was leaner. Ideally, streaky bacon would have been the best option for a wrap as the pieces are longer.

I was watching Scandinavian Cooking on the Asian Food Channel ('AFC') the night before and decided to try the bacon wrap on Vienna sausage.
