Deep Fried Squid
Topic: Squids
My hubby insisted me of deep-frying the squid last night. I told him that we don't have breadcrumbs left (this means that we need to go for grocery ASAP), he said let's find a way to make breadcrumbs. Fortunately, there were still croutons left in the cabinet, so he grinded it and our problem were solved. We used the ground croutons as our breadcrumbs. He made the squids ready for deep frying with my sister Jong so that I can fry it by the time I'm finish cooking the Chicken Green Curry .


Ingredients:
400 grams squid (big variety or cuttlefish), cleaned and cut into tiny strips
1 egg, beaten
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
Oil, enough for deep frying




Directions:
1. Drop the squids in briskly boiling water and boil for 10 seconds. Remove immediately, drain and pat dry.
2. In a bowl, combine the egg, milk, salt and pepper. Set aside.
3. Dredge the squids in the flour, shaking off excess flour. Then dip squids in the egg batter and roll in breadcrumbs.
4. Heat oil in a skillet. Place squid in the hot oil in a single layer. Fry until lightly browned.
5. Drain on paper towels.

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
