Crisp Calamari
Method
Crisp Calamari Preparation
Prepare the batter
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in ice-cold water until a smooth batter forms.
Coat the calamari
Dip the calamari rings into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
Fry the calamari
Carefully place the batter-coated calamari into the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Prepare the yuzu emulsion
In a small bowl, whisk together yuzu juice, soy sauce, honey, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Serve
Arrange the fried calamari on a plate, top with mizuna greens, drizzle with yuzu emulsion, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
