1. How to make delicious crispy fried squid
1.1. Prepare ingredients
To make golden, fragrant, and delicious crispy fried squid, you need to prepare the following simple ingredients:
- 300g squid (tube or flathead)
- 250g crispy flour
- 1 chicken egg
- Cooking oil, salt, ginger, pepper
1.2. How to make
Instructions for making chewy, fragrant, and delicious crispy fried squid as follows:
- Step 1 – Prepare the squid: Wash the squid thoroughly, remove the innards and ink sac, keeping the body and tentacles. Rub with salt and ginger to remove any fishy smell, then rinse again with clean water several times. Cut the squid into bite-sized pieces (about 1-1.5cm) and briefly dip them in boiling water for about 30 seconds to make the squid crispier, then remove and drain.
- Step 2 – Make dry batter: Mix 100g of crispy flour, ½ teaspoon of sugar, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and a little pepper evenly.
- Step 3 – Make wet batter: In a separate bowl, combine 150g of crispy flour, 1 chicken egg, and a little water, then stir well. Next, coat the squid pieces first in the dry batter, then dip them into the wet batter.
- Step 3 – Fry the squid: Heat oil in a pan, then add the squid and deep-fry over medium heat until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the squid and drain on paper towels.
- Step 4 – Enjoy: Crispy fried squid has a golden, crispy outer layer, while the inside remains chewy and full of sea flavor. You can dip it with chili sauce or mayonnaise for a perfect combination.
2. How to make crispy breaded squid
If you prefer a crispier, fluffier, and more visually appealing texture, crispy breaded squid is an excellent choice.
2.1. Ingredients needed
- 300g squid
- 1 chicken egg
- 1 packet of panko breadcrumbs and 1 packet of crispy flour
- Cooking oil, salt.
2.2. How to make
Here are the simple steps to make delicious crispy breaded squid:
- Step 1 – Prepare the squid: Wash the squid thoroughly, remove the ink sac, cartilage, and beak. Then peel off the skin, rub lightly with salt to remove any fishy smell, and rinse with clean water. Cut into round slices about 1cm thick and drain well.
- Step 2 – Prepare the coating: Crack the chicken egg into a bowl and beat it. Prepare one plate with crispy flour and another with panko breadcrumbs. Then, dip each squid slice into the egg, followed by the crispy flour, then dip into the egg again, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs to achieve a complete crispy coating.
- Step 3 – Fry the squid: You can fry the squid using either of the following methods:
- Heat oil in a deep pan, add the coated squid slices, and deep-fry until golden and crispy. Then, remove and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- For a quicker and more convenient method, you can use an air fryer. Preheat the air fryer, then arrange the coated squid on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and lightly spray with cooking oil. Air fry at 180°C for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the coating is golden and crispy on both sides.
- Step 4 – The result: Properly made crispy breaded squid will have a crispy, golden-brown exterior, while the inside remains naturally sweet and chewy. Enjoy it hot, served with chili sauce or mayonnaise.
