Fried Funyuns & Onion Rings Recipe

Greetings to My Beautiful Lovelies: A Wine and Food Adventure with Emmy

Emmy welcomes her audience back to another episode, this time sponsored by Bright Cellars, a monthly wine club that matches customers with wines tailored to their taste preferences. To get started, viewers are invited to take a seven question quiz, which will determine the wines they'll receive in their next box. With Bright Cellars, there's no need to visit a store, as the wines will be delivered right to your doorstep. In case of any dissatisfaction with a bottle of wine, the concierge team is available to replace it in the next box.

Emmy expresses her enthusiasm for Bright Cellars not only because of their personalized wine recommendations but also due to the inclusion of informative cards with each bottle. These cards provide detailed information about each wine, which Emmy finds incredibly valuable. She mentions that she has received Supergenre, Mojave Rain, Drosera, Double Century, VanishingAct, and Toliman in her previous boxes, all accompanied by these informative cards.

One of the features that Emmy appreciates is the ability to save these cards for future reference. This way, viewers can keep track of their wine preferences and make informed decisions when it comes to trying new wines or purchasing more bottles in the future. If you're interested in trying Bright Cellars for yourself, there's a special offer available – click on the provided link to receive 50% off your first box of six bottles.

For this month's video, Emmy decided to open a bottle of wine from her Bright Cellars box: Toliman, a 2019 white blend. As she uncorks the bottle and takes a taste, she notes that it has a full-bodied texture with a big mouthfeel, almost like thick syrup. The flavor is slightly sweet, with hints of lemon, which she believes will complement the dish she's preparing today – deep-fried Funyuns.

Emmy begins by explaining her experience with Funyuns. She claims that these little corn onion snacks first appeared in her dream, and upon waking up, she found herself wondering if it was just a dream or if she had actually made them real. This led to the idea of making deep-fried Funyuns a reality.

In the United States, there aren't many onion-flavored snacks available. According to Emmy, this is because sour cream and onion chips are more common. However, Funyuns specifically claim to be onion flavored snacks, which makes them unique. As she begins preparing her recipe – using a peanutoil heated to 375 degrees – Emmy explains that the batter for the onion rings or Funyun rings will come from a book.

The preparation of deep-fried Funyuns involves heating peanut oil in a pan and using a special batter recipe. With a pinch of salt and a few sprinkles of corn-based flavor, Emmy is ready to cook her Funyuns. As she cooks them behind the camera, the aroma fills the air. The result is crispy onion-flavored rings with a super salty taste that initially surprised Emmy but turned out to be just right.

In the end, this episode showcases both the unique offering of Bright Cellars and the creativity of food enthusiasts like Emmy, who can turn their dreams into culinary adventures.
