Salt and Pepper Squid is a popular dish originating from Chinese cuisine, often enjoyed across Asia and beyond. This flavorful appetizer or main dish features tender squid pieces, lightly coated in a seasoned mix of flour and cornstarch, then flash-fried to achieve a crispy texture. The squid is generously seasoned with salt, black or white pepper, and sometimes chili flakes or garlic for added zest. While squid itself is low in calories and offers a rich source of protein, antioxidants, and essential nutrients like zinc and vitamin B12, the frying process can add significant fat and calories, particularly if deep-fried in oil. Pairing with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables is a way to balance its indulgent richness. This dish is loved for its crunchy exterior and savory spice blend, making it a flavorful treat that should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
