Squid Tempura
Habanero Mayo
Method
Preparing the Habanero Mayo
Make the Mayo
In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, finely chopped habanero pepper, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
Making the Squid Tempura
Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and ice-cold water until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Fry the Squid
Dip the squid rings into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, and carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried squid from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with the habanero mayo on the side.
