hi, I think this is the recipe you're looking for...
Deep Fried Squid Slices tossed in Spicy Rock Salt
Part 1
1 lb Fresh squid
1 Egg
3 tbsp Potato Starch or Tapioca Starch or Corn Starch
White pepper a pinch
1/2 tsp Sesame oil
1/4 tsp Sea Salt
1 1/2 cups oil for deep frying
Part 2
2 tsp oil
4 Garlic cloves
1 Green onion (scallion)
3 Red &/or Green chilli
1 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
1. coarsely chop garlic and green onion. Cut chilli into thin rings.
2. Peel off the skin of fresh squid and gut; clean thoroughly. Cut squid lengthwise down centre. Spread squid out flat with the inside facing upwards. With sharp knife make shallow cuts across squid in diamond shape. This helps tenderize squid and make it curl when cooking. Then cut the squid into thick strips. Drain and pat with a paper towel.
3. Place squid in a bowl, add egg, salt, sesame oil, white pepper, 3-tbsp Potato starch. Mix well.
4. Heat up a pot with oil. Deep-fry squid with medium-high heat until crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel.
5. In a wok, stir-fry garlic, green onion and chilli.
6. Reduce the heat, add the deep-fried squids in wok and give it a quick toss. Season with sea salt.
7. Ready to serve.
*For a twist, you can add some crushed szechuan peppercorns while you're stir frying the garlic, Green onions and chilli
Enjoy! <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thumbsup2:' />
