Ingredients

  • 500g prepared squid, sliced into rings (leave tentacles whole)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 12 tbsp cornflour
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tsp crushed dried chillies
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 550ml vegetable oil, for frying
  • ½ iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • 2 carrots, trimmed, peeled and thinly sliced into strips
  • 2 spring onions, trimmed and sliced lengthways
  • 1-2 red chillies, deseeded and thinly sliced
  • 50g fresh coriander, leaves only

Step by step

  1. Dip the squid rings into the beaten egg. Season the cornflour with the sea salt, crushed chillies and pepper, then dust the squid generously with the flour.
  2. Heat the oil in a wok or large saucepan over a high heat to 180ºC, or until a cube of bread dropped in turns golden brown in 15 seconds. Fry the squid in batches until golden, removing it with a slotted spoon as it is ready, and drain on kitchen paper.
  3. Serve the squid on a bed of shredded lettuce and carrot strips and sprinkle with the spring onion, chilli and coriander leaves.
Chef quote
Yum. I first had fried chilli squid in London in the Royal China restaurant. This is my version. Serve with sweet chilli sauce.
