Ingredients

Fried Calamari

Preparation

Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Calamari

In a bowl, soak the calamari rings in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes to tenderize.

2. Mix the Coating

In a separate bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, flour, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

3. Heat the Oil

In a deep fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

4. Coat the Calamari

Remove calamari from buttermilk and let excess drip off. Dredge in the panko mixture, ensuring a good coating.

5. Fry the Calamari

Carefully add coated calamari to hot oil in batches. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6. Serve

Serve immediately with crispy garlic soy sauce and koji ranch on the side.
