Ingredients

  1. 200 g squid, cleaned and sliced into 1 cm rings
  2. 2 tablespoons cornflour
  3. 1 egg, lightly beaten
  4. 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  5. salt, to taste
  6. vegetable oil, for shallow frying
  7. lemon wedges, to serve
  8. 1/2 baby cos lettuce, leaves separated
  9. 1/4 cucumber, cut into batons
  10. 1/2 small carrot, julienned or finely sliced
  11. dipping sauce of choice (optional)

Method

  1. Place cornflour on a plate and season with salt. Spread breadcrumbs on another plate and whisk the egg in a shallow dish.
  2. Combine cucumber batons, baby cos leaves, and half the carrot in a small bowl to prepare the sides.
  3. Slice the calamari into 1cm-thick rings, ensuring they are evenly cut. Pat the rings dry with paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  4. Coat the calamari rings lightly in cornflour, dip them into the egg, and then cover them with breadcrumbs.
  5. Pour enough oil into a large, heavy-based frying pan to cover the base about 5mm deep. Heat over medium-high until hot. Fry the calamari rings in batches for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. Drain the calamari on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve immediately with prepared sides for a fresh, crispy dish.

Chef's Tip

Great crumbed squid rings are all about texture and quick cooking. Lightly coating the squid in seasoned crumbs creates a crisp golden shell while keeping the inside tender and delicate rather than rubbery. Frying in hot oil for a short time locks in moisture and flavour, while fresh lemon and crunchy salad sides balance the richness perfectly for a classic seafood favourite.
