Best Squid Ever, a REVELATION. |
CRISPY FRIED SQUID: FLOUR+ CORNSTARCH+ FIVE SPICE+ EGG
**Dip in egg before coating with the dry mixture
**Equal amounts of flour and cornstarch
**Score the inside of the squid in a criss-cross pattern to ensure it curls up.
**2 minutes for cooking time ensures tenderness.
As for dessert, I made a panna cotta, and it had some mangoes on top. It wasn't that fabulous that's why I'm leaving it out.
I know, the pictures are a little bit of a disgrace but then I was so busy to style the dishes and take epic pictures since everybody just dug in.
** Obviously there aren't any measurements, it's for you to adjust to your own taste!;)
