Hi Lau. Came upon your great video by chance. I usually love cooking but i go through phases with a little depression which makes me feel like i lack appetite. So this lovely, easy recipe has helped to make me want to cook again. Thank you so much. I thought it was explained well and you came across as down to earth character. I am English too. Could i use the same technique with chicken or would i have to marinade it in something first? DEB in Newcastle ( Geordieland 😂)

[@patrickkelly8095]

@@ChowWithLauyou’re welcome. Just a friendly offer of advice. It would be easier if you first shook up the squid in a bag of the corn flower. Then drop it into already whisked egg in a bigger bowl. The flower will thinly coat the squid giving the egg wash a better surface to stick to so that when you then coat the squid in the flower again, for the frying, it’ll give you a nicer coating.

[@wandaklarich3365]

How many minutes do you deep fry the squid.. I am thought it would be golden colored

[@ChowWithLau]

Hi Wanda - the squid is deep fried for about 3 mins. It's really important that we don't overcook the squid as that's why it would become tough/rubbery. And therefore the crispy coating stays quite a light colour. The same dish but using chicken, beef or pork comes out a deeper golden brown colour because they are fried for longer. Trust me though, the colour doesn't affect the taste or the crunchiness. Hope that helps 😊

@@ChowWithLau Hi well as I said I would cook it today. We just finished dinner of Salt and pepper squid. Ive got to say its the best receipe of squid Ive ever tried. Ive caught squid in Australia and looked forward to fresh squid but always felt a bit disappointed with the result. Its sometimes too chewy like rubber and or I could never get the crust right its floury or soft or too thick gluggy. oh one thing i did was tenderise it a bit with tenderising mallet because it was quite a big squid, I only used half of it. Well this was just fantastic. Resterau quality. Even my wife thought it was good and she is fussy, likes it cooked Philippino style, but she really enjoyed it too. Ill share this on my facebook and always cook it this way. Thanks Lau.

[@ChowWithLau]

@@tomdungey8505 That is awesome! So happy it worked for you. Good call on the tenderising - at the end of the day if it's really thick it's going to be tougher. I really appreciate you taking the time to give me feedback - this makes it so real for me and gives me the greatest satisfaction. Thank you :)

I live on my own, so Sunday roast always gets wasted. So I started a tradition of having authentic Chinese food instead. Yesterday I had Hong Kong style chow mein and this salt and pepper squid. It was wonderful, really crispy and taste delicious. It really hit the spot. I must say that next time I'm going to try it in my air frier, for if I can make it healthy, I'll have it every week. I'll let you know what it turns out like!

[@ChowWithLau]

Hi Dave, thank you so much for your feedback. I’m so glad it worked for you. I’m looking forward to hearing about how it goes using an air fryer 😊

[@P4melaMasters]

I think the batter needs to be changed for an air frier. Tbh it was good, but still needed to shallow fry anyway. So I reckon, take the calorie hit and deep fry like you recommend!!

[@ChowWithLau]

@@P4melaMasters I’m no expert when it comes to air frying so I’m not sure how I would change the coating for that. I do like the idea of air frying for healthier recipes, it’s just that every air fryer I’ve seen advertised doesn’t look like it could cook in big enough quantities for me. My way of finding a middle ground would be too flash fry the squid just long enough to ‘set’ the coating and then finish in a hot oven. Squid wouldn’t take very long in an oven.

[@P4melaMasters]

Funnily enough, I've previously been using the water spray trick when I tried making southern fried chicken. Get the chicken wings coated with the seasoned flour, put them on a tray, then quick spray of water mist. Turn them over, another spray on the other side, then fry in oil. I suppose the water spray technique directly on seasoned flour or cornflour as demonstrated here could also work, before coating chicken pieces with it and then frying.

Looks very nice. When I tried before with batter, , when I fry, the skin splutter so does the oil. Will your technique prevent that? Also is your coating thick or thin? Looks a bit too thick.

Thanks Lizzy 😊 It usually splutters if water hits the oil meaning your batter hasn’t covered the squid completely. My technique doesn’t prevent that as such, you just need to coat your squid more completely. I would say my coating is about right. It’s a matter for personal preference but when I made it the coating had a very nice crunch. I would suggest that you experiment until you get it right for your liking 😊
