Calamari Fries and Peppers

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Calamari

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and add water. Dip the calamari rings into the egg mixture, then coat them with the flour mixture.

  2. 2

    Fry the Calamari

    In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot. Fry the coated calamari rings in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Shishito Peppers

    In the same oil, fry the shishito peppers for about 1-2 minutes until blistered. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Make the Miso Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix miso paste and water until smooth.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the calamari fries and shishito peppers, drizzle with miso sauce, and sprinkle with katsuobushi and chopped green onions.
