Serves: 4
Ingredients:
  • 500gr squid, clean and cut as you like
  • 2 red big chilli, thinly sliced
  • 4 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 spring onion leaves, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbs corn flour or tapioca flour
  • ½ cup of plain flour
  • 1 tsp sea salt (or as needed)

  • Salad or steam rice for serving
Cooking Instructions:
  1. Mix well the plain flour, corn flour with salt and pepper.
  2. Add the sliced squid into the zip bag or any plastic bag and then seal. Shake the bag until the squid is fully coated in the flour mixture, then set aside.
  3. Heat the oil in a frying pan in a high heat.
  4. Fry the squid for roughly about 1 - 2 minutes. Never overcook the squid as the texture can be tough.
  5. Repeat the process until all the squid is cooked. Set aside.
  6. Heat 1 tbsp cooking oil in a pan, sauté chilli, garlic and spring onion until beautifully fragrant, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat.
  7. Place the salad on a plate, add fried squid on top and then sprinkle sautéed chilli, garlic and spring onion on top.
  8. Serve while it's warm.
