But both are post-cooking, right? I was thinking of incorporating something into the flour before cooking. But all these, and the other thoughts above, are good. Thanks, folks! I'll figure something out and report back.

Truffle salt is for sure a finishing salt and not a cooking salt. It's way too pungent to get right before the fact. Way too pungent.

I think so. If you've ever had truffle fries at a restaurant it's basically the same damn thing. Good on pizza crust too so I hear (I don't eat pizza). I have a pretty nice spice store nearby where I bought an 8 pack of variety salts for roughly $4.5 a bottle.
There's even some black salt in there I haven't tried yet.

I use Indian red chili powder. But when I use it in a coating for frying, it seems to lose some of it's heat. If you are going spicy, add garlic.
Here's how I've always done it, short version:
Run onion rings through flour to coat
The dip the rings in milk mixture
Then back into the flour, and let sit for an hour to absorb the flour. Re-coat if necessary.
Fry
Milk mixture:
Milk
tiny bit of baking powder
tiny bit of sugar
one egg - more if it's a big batch
Blend until foamy.
I've also substituted buttermilk for the milk mixture with happy results.

Dang, an hour in flour? I've never done that before. Maybe that will have a big difference. Will try tonight!

I remember my first time in a PF Changs almost 15 years ago?, my wife and i moved to VA, and couldn't find good chinese food. Went to PF Changs, cuz it just opened up, so why not, fucking snow fest white, and i don't mean the patrons, the staff the waiters, it was the first time i felt fear in my 20 years of life.
Sat down, WTF forks?, waitress comes over, some white girl, and she's trying to explain the dipping sauces, i try to be nice and just say give us chopsticks please.
Holy fuck the hot n sour soup was actually good, the rest of the shit was, well upscale chinese food for white ppl, disgusting.
So for 5 years we had to drive out of our way to order hot n sour soup from PF Changs, they don't even do take out, you have to goto the fucking bar and order it separately since that's the only place with a cash register.
pretty sure it was 9bucks for a quart too. (currently i got a nice place in nj that makes good hot n sour soup too, it's like 3bucks a quart, i have no idea why it's that cheap, but fuck it, cuz its that cheap i won't have to learn how to cook hot n sour soup for a while)
but wtf is david chang doing with all this fucking ramen? is it a chef joke or something to fuck up perfectly good packaged ramen? Plus this guy has zero personality for tv, if you want to see a ny based asian chef on tv, get eddie huang.

haha! I got it right away. Text my wife, as she's a ginger, and she says I have no idea what that is. 5 minutes later, she finally gets the joke, and says sorry you had to explain it to me. At one point she said, red salt... Ugh.
