Ingredients

Method

Directions

1

Prepare the Calamari

In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Dip the calamari rings into the mixture until well coated.

2

Make the Batter

In another bowl, combine the remaining flour mixture with water to create a batter. It should be thick enough to coat the calamari.

3

Heat the Oil

In a large frying pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).

4

Fry the Calamari

Dip the coated calamari rings into the batter and carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5

Sauté the Vegetables

In the same oil, quickly sauté the sliced bell peppers and green onions for 1-2 minutes until they are crisp-tender.

6

Combine and Serve

Mix the fried calamari with the sautéed vegetables and kimchi. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
