Ingredients

Method

Place the rice flour, Gregg's Sea Salt and Ground White Pepper in a bowl. Grind over Gregg's Black Peppercorns and mix well.

With a sharp knife, slice the squid tubes lengthways so they open like a book. Dry well with a paper towel. If the tubes are particularly large, cut them in half across the width.

Score the inside in a 0.5cm criss-cross pattern, then cut them into 1cm strips, cutting down the length of the squid.

Toss the strips in the seasoned flour until they are heavily coated. Heat the oil in a large saucepan, wok or deep fryer until hot.

Deep fry the squid in small batches for 1 - 2 minutes until crisp and golden but still tender. Drain, then place on a plate lined with a paper towel.

Toss with fresh chilli slices and serve immediately.
