Squid Calamares

Squid Calamares

One of my family's favorite dishes, longing to serve in our dining table. Preparation time may takes too long during removal of skin of squid, but truly a delicious appetizer to serve for the whole family.


Ingredients:

1 kilo medium sized Squid, remove skin then cut into rings
2 cup cooking oil
4-5 cup Japanese bread crumbs
2 egg, beaten
5 tablespoon calamansi juice 
salt and pepper

Procedure:
  1. Clean the Squid, remove the head, ink sacs and tentacles discarded, outer purple skin peeled off then slice into ½ inch rings. 
  2. Season squid with salt and pepper then add calamansi juice.
  3. Marinate for about 30-60 minutes before frying.
  4. Dip squid rings in egg whites, then dredge in Japanese bread crumbs.
  5. Heat oil in a wok, deep fry few pieces of squid rings.
  6. Fry they turn golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. 
  7. Do not overcook as this will make the squid tough
  8. Remove squid rings from the wok then drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  9. Can be serve with plain mayonnaise, catsup, sweet chili sauce, vinegar with soy sauce and garlic and/or other desired dipping sauce.

Thank you for viewing this recipe. God Bless us all...
