Preparation

1

Prepare the Calamari

In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the calamari rings in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.

2

Fry the Calamari

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry the calamari in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

3

Make the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together sweet miso paste, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey until smooth.

4

Assemble the Salad

In a large salad bowl, combine mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber. Drizzle with sweet miso dressing and toss gently.

5

Serve

Top the salad with crispy calamari and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
