Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Wash and clean the squid before slicing it into rings.

  2. Place the sliced squid in a mixing bowl and season with salt, pepper powder, and garlic powder. Let it set for several minutes.

  3. In a separate bowl, prepare the flour and corn starch for coating, then add a pinch of salt and pepper powder, then combine.

  4. Crack two raw eggs into a container and whisk them together.

  5. Add cooking oil to a pot and heat it.

  6. Dredge the calamares slices in the flour mixture, then in the beaten egg, and finally in the breadcrumbs.

  7. Deep-fry the coated squid directly in the preheated oil until the color of the coating turns brown. 

    Do not overcook the squid. Fry it for about 3 minutes over medium heat.
  8. Remove the squid from the fryer. Use a strainer to drain excess oil, then transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels.

  9. All done. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Happy Eating! Share and enjoy!
