If using fresh squid, clean and cut in desired pieces.
(Score the squid if preferred)

*You can use frozen or any of your favorite squid for this recipe.





Season the squid with salt & pepper. Add the egg, shaoxing wine and cornstarch. Mix well.

Coat the squid with cornstarch or tapioca starch and set aside.







Prepare the other ingredients. Since I can’t find red chili pepper I used jalapeño for the heat and a red pepper for the color.

Use desired amount of chili pepper/jalapeño. Cut in slices or strips. Mince the garlic and cut spring onion in tiny pieces.






Deep fry the squid on medium - high heat until golden brown and crispy.






Pan fry the minced garlic and peppers for 1 - 2 minutes. Add the spring onion and squid. Combine well and it’s ready to serve.







Serve with a bowl of white rice!

TIPS & NOTES
✿ Use fresh squid or frozen squid.
✿ If you can’t find red chili pepper like me, use a Jalapeño pepper instead for the heat.
✿ Red Pepper is optional. I used the red pepper just for color
