Crispy Calamari

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Calamari

    In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Mix well. Slowly add ice-cold water to create a batter.

  2. 2

    Coat the Calamari

    Dip the sliced calamari into the batter until well coated.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  4. 4

    Fry the Calamari

    Carefully add the battered calamari to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Make the Three Flavor Chili Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix chopped chilies, minced garlic, fish sauce, sugar, and lime juice. Stir until sugar is dissolved.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the crispy calamari hot, drizzled with three flavor chili sauce, and garnished with lime leaves and cilantro.
