Note: Can be served with grilled chicken or sauteed shrimp if desired.
Fried onion mix: Soak onion in buttermilk 2 to 3 hours or until saturated but not soggy. Dust with flour.
When ready to prepare, heat 1/2 inch oil in a medium pan. Add onion in small batches and fry until dark brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spatula, remove from oil and add to combined wasabi peas, onion and poppy seed crackers, soy nuts and sunflower seeds. When mixed, transfer to a wire rack or set on a counter lined with paper toweling to dry.

Soy reduction: In heavy, medium-size saucepan bring soy sauce and sugar to a boil. In a small bowl combine water and cornstarch and whisk until smooth. Gradually add to boiling liquid. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook 5 minutes. Mixture should look soupy. Cool completely. Mixture will become slightly gelatinous as it cools. Whisk before using. Store unused soy reduction in refrigerator.
Chili buttermilk ranch dressing: Combine all ingredients and whisk until blended.
