"Be not afraid of carbohydrates: some are born addicted to carbs, some achieve this obsession, and some have carbs thrust upon them."
On Master Chef they had an invention test where they had to cook "dude food." I personally don't understand why it's called that, as as a definite girl I also crave salt, carbs, grease and savoury delights. Especially after watching the mouth watering concoctions they produced to satisfy these late night cravings. So instead of dining out this weekend (clap clap) we decided to create our own version of these challenges. Apart from the mess and time, the advantage is that you are getting exactly what you feel like. Minimal health benefits but soul comfort food.
We made crunchy onion rings- deep fried of course. After many previous failed attempts this batter is the easiest and has made the best onion rings. We cheated and bought aioli to dip them in too. So yummy but so bad!
Onion rings
- 1L vegetable oil
- 200g plain flour
- 200-250ml soda water
- 2 brown onions, sliced into 1/2cm rings
Kewpie slaw
- ¼ red cabbage, finely shredded
- 2purple carrots, julienne
- 2 spring onions, sliced
- 150ml kewpie mayonnaise
- Juice of one lime
We complimented this with little ranch sliders (mini burgers). We bought little panninis from Coles, made some pork/beef/bacon patties and made coleslaw from red onion, wombok and carrot. We tossed the coleslaw through kewpie mayonnaise, an idea stolen from the 'dude challenge,' a Japanese condiment. And because we couldn't be bothered to make George's bacon mayonnaise from Masterclass (as delicious as it looked) we tossed some bacon through it for the flavour. Then we assembled them together with some added sliced cheddar cheese and there we had it. The perfect late night hunger quencher.
Carb Verdict- Guilty!
