Ingredients
- 8-12 oz (230g-350g) squid and tentacles cleaned
- 1 large egg beaten
- 4 oz (125g) all-purpose flour
- 2 oz (60g) cornstarch
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3 dashes cayenne pepper
- oil for deep drying
- bottled tomato sauce or pasta sauce, for dipping
- chopped parsley for garnishing
Instructions
- Cut the cleaned squid tubes into 1/2-inch (1 cm) rings.
- Transfer the squid rings to a large bowl, add a beaten egg, and stir to coat evenly.
- In a separate large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and cayenne pepper. Stir until well mixed. Working in small batches, add a few squid rings to the flour mixture, ensuring they are thoroughly coated, then transfer them to a strainer. Repeat until all the squid rings are coated. Gently shake the strainer to remove any excess flour.
- Heat a skillet with 1 inch (2.5 cm) of oil over high heat. Once the oil is hot, deep-fry the squid until they turn light brown. Remove the squid from the oil and drain on paper towels.
- Garnish the squid with parsley and serve warm with tomato sauce.
