you will need a Wok.... (duh)
2 cups Peanut Oil
[1 Egg white (ie minus yoke)
2 hot chilli's (seeds removed, then diced into small pieces)
1 clove garlic (freshly crushed)
1/8th teaspoon of Schezuan Pepper (or just 1 shake of the bottle into the mix)
1/2 teaspoon salt]- wet mix (marinade), you will need to whisk all of this around in a bowl
[3 cups flour
3 cups rice flour
1 cup castor sugar
1/2 teaspoon of white pepper]- dry mix
right- get yourself around 500g of squid. If your like me, & don't know the squid's arse from it's tentacles, get already prepared arrow squid tubes.
prepare wet mix into bowl, slice squid into strips (say 2cm thick), add squid to bowl, glad wrap over the top & let marinate for an hour (I suggest 24 hours if you can)
Get a sieve & prepare your dry mix (I also add a shake of schezuan pepper & chinese 5 spice to this), make sure you put it through the sieve a couple of times, so it's nice & mixed up (like women
)
Get a large dish with paper towls prepared (for squid after frying), a collander (to shake the excess dry mix off squid), & put your peanut (or you can use light olive) oil in the wok, & turn it on.
In the meantime, roll your squid through the dry mix, get excess off, & you're nearly ready.
Place squid into the wok, but don't over-crowd (divide your booty so you end up doing 3 or 4 fries), obviously, when you take the squid out (golden brown, or just before), put your next lot in.
serve on rice, with a squeeze of lemon & you've got yourself a pretty decent meal for about $5 (once you've bought necessary items ie spices etc...)
