Ingredients
- 500 grams Squid
- 100 grams Rice flour
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 180 milliliters Soda water (cold)
- 1 liter Vegetable oil
- 1 whole Lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
Directions
Step 1
Clean the squid by removing the head, beak, and outer skin. Cut the cleaned squid into rings about 1 cm thick.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine rice flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder. Mix well.
Step 3
Pour the cold soda water into the flour mixture gradually, whisking constantly until smooth and thick like pancake batter. Adjust the amount of soda water if needed.
Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large deep saucepan to 180°C (355°F). Make sure there's enough oil to submerge the squid completely.
Step 5
Dip the squid rings into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated, and carefully place them into the hot oil. Do this in batches to prevent overcrowding.
Step 6
Fry the squid rings for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Step 7
Repeat the frying process with the remaining squid.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with lemon wedges and gluten-free soy sauce on the side.
