• Combine dry ingredients and set aside. Heat oil to 375 degrees F. in a deep fryer. If you don't have a deep fryer, use a Dutch oven or deep pot; add oil and heat to 375 using a candy thermometer to determine the temperature of the oil. Remove the thermometer when the temp reaches 375.
• When ready to cook, grab a handful of onions, cover well with the flour mixture, shake off the excess, and plunge the onions into the hot oil. Fry the onions in batches so the oil will stay hot. Fry for a few minutes and remove them when they turn golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
• Repeat until all the onions are cooked. Serve immediately or store in an air tight plastic container to add to other dishes when needed. Cooked onion straws can be kept at room temperature for up to a week.

UNCOMMON RAMEN BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA BAKE

Steps:

• Directions:.
• Remove ramen noodles from their packages and cook in boiling water until just al dente (1-2 minutes). Save the flavour packets for another use.
• In a large bowl, beat the egg and parmesan cheese.
• Drain the noodles very well and add to the large bowl, mixing quickly to combine.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over a medium heat until hot. Once hot, add the vegetable oil and tilt the pan to coat the base and sides with it. Add the noodles to the skillet, using a fork to help you spread them out to cover the base in an even layer. Press down using a metal spatula to compact it down. Cook over a medium-low heat until golden and slightly crisp underneath.
• Spread the BBQ sauce over the noodles, scatter on the chicken and mozzarella. Top with the onions and mandarin segments. Add any of the optional toppings now too.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese has melted and is starting to brown.
• Remove from the oven and use a metal spatula to help loosen the pizza from the skillet. Slide out into a cutting board, cut into wedges and serve.
• Note: you can also make two 9-inch pizzas from this recipe. The crust will be slightly thinner. Just use a 9-inch skillet instead of a 12-inch and only use half the cooked noodle mixture for each pizza base.
• Note: The 1/2 cup of milk in the crust has been removed from the recipe to help ensure a crisp crust throughout. Additionally, if you don't have a cast-iron skillet, you can baked this on a cookie sheet, but the crust will not be as crisp.
