Fried Golden Calamari Recipe(Calamares) |
Ingredients: |
1 kg medium calamari, cleaned (head, ink sacs and tentacles discarded), outer purple skin peeled off (do not cut calamari open) Juice of 3-4 calamansi 2 egg whites 125 g plain (all-purpose) flour 250 ml oil Salt and pepper to taste Lettuce (optional) |
Method: Slice calamari into 1-cm rings. Marinate in calamansi juice for about 30 minutes. Dip calamari rings in egg whites, then dredge in flour. Heat oil in a wok and fry calamari rings in hot oil a few pieces at a time until they turn golden yellow, about 1 minute. Do not overcook as this will make the calamari tough. Remove calamari rings from the wok and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. If desired, place on a bed of lettuce. Serve with Garlic Mayonnaise Dip (refer Philippines Recipes) as an appetizer or as a pulutan with drinks. |
