Calamari

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomato Poke

    In a bowl, combine the diced tomatoes and sliced green onions. Set aside to marinate.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Calamari

    In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of panko breadcrumbs and furikake seasoning. Dredge each calamari ring in flour, dip in egg, and coat with the panko mixture.

  3. 3

    Frying the Calamari

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 180°C (350°F). Fry the coated calamari rings in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Yuzu Sweet Chili Oil

    In a small bowl, mix yuzu juice and sweet chili sauce together.

  5. 5

    Plating

    On a serving plate, arrange the fried calamari. Drizzle with unagi sauce, and serve with the tomato poke and yuzu sweet chili oil on the side.
