Dip each calamari ring into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it in the flour mixture. Shake off any extra flour and set aside on a plate.

Heat the Oil

In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Calamari

Carefully place a few calamari rings into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove and drain on paper towels.

Making the Orange Sauce

Mix the Sauce Ingredients

In a small saucepan, combine the fresh orange juice, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Stir well.

Thicken the Sauce

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Add this to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

Serving

Serve the Calamari

Arrange the fried calamari on a serving platter and drizzle with the orange sauce. Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side for dipping.
