  • 2 tbsp of black pepper
  • 2 tbsp of salt
  • 1/2 tsp of Chinese five spice

Mix it all together.

Step 3: Next Crack Two Eggs Into Another Bowl.

Whisk together, this will act as a wash which will help the breading stick to the squid.

Step 4: Take Three Squid Tubes, Slice Through the Tube ½ and Inch or 1 Cm Apart.

This will give you perfect squid rings.

Step 5: Now That the Heat Is Up to Temp. Set Up a Bread Station Next to the Pan.

First, dip the squid rings into the egg wash and then toss in the rice flour mix till fully coated.

Carefully lower each piece into the oil, always make sure to lower it away from you.
