Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. 1. Clean squid. Carefully remove the head and ink See Photo. (I prefer to exclude the head).
  2. 2. Cut each squid vertically See Photo. Then cut both pieces with diagonal strokes. This is to make sure that they curl as you fry them.
  3. 3. Drain the squid. Then pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
  4. 4. In a bowl mix the flour, salt, five-spice, white pepper and chili powder See Photo. Mix it well.
  5. 5. Using a tong, drop each piece in the bowl. Mix it well until all pieces are fully covered with the mixture. See Photo
  6. 6. In a deep pan/bowl, head your oil for frying. Drop a few pieces and get a feel of how crispy you'd want your pieces to be. Don't overcook the squid to make sure they don't go tough. (TIP: Best to experiment on a small batch to determine the desired length of deep frying)
  7. 7. Complete the deep frying of all pieces.
  8. 8. Prepare your dip: soy sauce + fresh bird's eye chili (optional).
