chilli fried squid

My husband and I love squid. I used to make it with a beer or soda batter and deep fry it. This is low carb and low fat and absolutely delicious.

Ingredients

4 squid tubes
20g cornflour
1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes
Salt and pepper
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tblsp olive oil
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tblsp wasabi

Method

Butterfly the squid tubes and lay flat on a chopping board. Shiny side down, score diamonds into the squid by running a sharp knife diagonally. Toss the squid in a bowl with salt, pepper, chilli flakes and cornflour. Use your hands to evenly coat the squid pieces. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a wok until smoking, then add the squid. Stir almost continually for approximately 5 minutes, until cooked and crisp. Squeeze lemon juice over squid and continue to cook for a further minute.

Combine mayonnaise and wasabi.

Serve squid while hot with Mayo wasabi.
