How to Make Fried Sun-Dried Squid
-
Prepare the squid
For fresh squid, clean the squid, remove the head, beak, and eyes, then soak the squid in diluted salt water for about 15 minutes. Next, rinse the squid with clean water and start drying it in the sun.
To achieve the desired dryness, sun-dry the squid in strong sunlight for 1 day, flipping the squid every 30 minutes. After that, cut the squid into bite-sized pieces.
For sun-dried squid, rinse the squid clean, let it drain, and cut it into pieces about the size of a finger.
-
Dip the squid
You beat 2 eggs.
Next, you dip the squid successively through the eggs, crispy flour, then another layer of egg and finally bread crumbs.
-
Fry the squid
You pour 200ml of cooking oil into the pan, when the oil is hot, add the squid pieces one by one and fry until crispy over medium heat. Since the bread crumbs can easily scorch, be careful to turn the squid evenly and remove it when the coating turns a deep golden color.
-
Finished product
The fried squid is coated with a fragrant, fatty layer on the outside and fried to a beautiful golden color, making it very appealing. Each piece of delicious squid dipped in spicy chili sauce is simply irresistible!
How to choose delicious and quality sun-dried squid
- The squid has a natural pink color, no fishy smell, and does not feel wet when touched.
- Good squid should have a straight body and thick body, and when picked up, it should be very dry, with the body and head of the squid sticking together.
- When cooked, the fragrant smell of dried squid is strong, the squid meat expands along the fibers, and the taste is rich and sweet. Particularly, real squid will not release water when preparing the dish.
- Additionally, you can also prepare sun-dried squid at home with a recipe from Tastetutorial.com.
How to choose fresh chicken eggs
- You can use your hand to touch the surface of the eggshell; if the surface is rough and slightly coarse, then it is fresh chicken eggs, while if the surface is smooth, the egg has been stored for a while.
- To check if the egg is fresh or not, gently shake it; if there is no movement, the egg is fresh, if it moves vigorously, the egg is old.
- For chicken eggs with a hard outer shell, observe if there is a thin layer of powder surrounding the shell; if so, it is a fresh egg.
