Ingredients
- 400 grams fresh squid (cleaned and chopped)
- 1 large egg
- 50 grams almond flour
- 30 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 2 stalks spring onions (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 5 grams unflavored gelatin powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon white pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Clean and prepare the squid. Chop the squid into small pieces and transfer to a food processor.
Step 2
Pulse the squid in the food processor until it forms a smooth paste-like consistency.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the squid paste, egg, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped spring onions, sesame oil, gelatin powder, salt, and white pepper.
Step 4
Using clean hands or a spoon, mix everything thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 5
Form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball, and set them aside on a plate.
Step 6
Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the squid balls into the pan, ensuring not to overcrowd them.
Step 7
Fry the squid balls for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Once cooked, transfer the squid balls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
