Deep-Fried Sandwiched Sweet Onion and Sweet Miso

• 2 Sweet onions
• 1 Sweet (Dengaku) Miso
• 4 leaves Shiso leaves
• 55 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 Egg
• 2 tbsp Water
• 1 Panko
• 1 Oil for deep-frying

1. Slice each onion into four round slices across the grain, each about 1 cm thick.
2. Then skewer each slice with a toothpick (horizontally through the edge toward the center) to prevent the rings from coming apart.
3. Spread the miso on the onions.
4. Top with a shiso leaf.
5. Then sandwich together with the other slice of onion.
6. Combine the ingredients for the batter (it should be slightly thicker than tempura batter), dredge the skewered ingredients from Step 4, then evenly coat in panko.
7. Deep fry in medium hot oil (180C) to a golden brown.
8. Remove the toothpicks, cut each in half, then transfer to a serving plate.
9. Variation: Add Shio-Koji Soboroto the sweet miso.
10. It can be stored in the freezer, so it's very handy.
11. Just sprinkle it onto the miso and sandwich.
