1 tbsp cornstarch
Fleur de sel

Preparation method

How do you make this?

Cut the squid along one side so that you can unfold it and scrape off the slime with your knife. Take your largest sharp knife and make slight diagonal cuts, about every 3 to 4 mm, deep enough without cutting through, from start to end. Turn it a quarter turn and do this again, so that you get cross cuts all over the piece. This way it curls nicely while frying but also absorbs all the flavors well. Then cut it into pieces of 5 to 6 cm and place them in a bowl.

First, add all the wet ingredients and mix them well together. Heat your fryer to 180°C. Mix in the cornstarch and rice flour firmly and place one at a time in the oil, frying for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown. Let them drain on kitchen paper and sprinkle some fleur de sel on top.

Serve with some lemon wedges and aioli.
