👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
Pat the cleaned squid dry with paper towels. Cut the bodies into 1/2-inch rings and leave tentacles whole.
- 2
In a bowl, toss the squid with salt, white pepper, and Shaoxing wine. Add the egg white and mix until lightly coated. Then, add cornstarch and mix until the squid is well-coated and the mixture is thick and sticky.

In a separate bowl, combine cornstarch, all-purpose flour, and baking powder. Dredge the coated squid pieces in this dry flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated. Shake off excess flour.

Heat about 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a wok or deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the squid in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Do not overcrowd the wok; fry in batches to maintain oil temperature. - 5
In a clean wok or large skillet, heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic, minced chilies, the white parts of the spring onions, and ground Sichuan peppercorns (if using). Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- 6
Add the fried squid back into the wok. Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper to taste. Toss everything together quickly for about 1 minute until well combined.
- 7
Stir in the green parts of the spring onions and toss for another 15 seconds. Serve immediately.
