Instructions

  1. Clean the squid and remove the dark skin on the surface.
  2. Trim the squid and then slice the tubes into 1/2 inch square pieces. Then rinse well and dry with kitchen paper.
  3. Chop the fresh peppers into small circles. Marinate with salt and pepper for around 10 minutes. And then add starch and egg. Mix well.
  4. Heat up enough oil in a deep pot until 170 degree C. You can test the oil temperature by adding one piece. The squid should be floating seconds after touching the oil. Deep fry all the squid by small batches.
