Steps:
- To make the dipping sauce, mix all the ingredients in a small bowl until the sugar has dissolved, then set aside. Mix the cornflour and plain flour with both peppers and 2 tsp sea salt in a large bowl, then set aside. Line a tray with kitchen paper and make sure you have more salt to sprinkle with.
- Heat about 7cm of oil to 180C in a deep fryer, wok or deep pan. If you don't have a thermometer, you can test it with a cube of bread - it should brown in 20 secs. Coat the squid well with the flour mix and fry in batches for about 2 mins each or until crisp. Use a slotted spoon to lift out the squid, then drain on the kitchen paper and sprinkle with a little more salt. Serve the squid scattered with the spring onion and chilli, with the dipping sauce on the side.

Steps:
- Heat a saute pan very hot and add the salt. Reduce the heat and saute for 3 to 5 minutes. Turn heat off and add the peppercorns. Mix and let stand. For the squid, score the squid on the inside with a criss-cross pattern then cut them into 2-inch triangles and set aside. To make the batter, slowly add cold water to the flour and baking powder to achieve a runny pancake batter. Whisk in the oil. In a fryer or wok, deep fry the squid until golden brown, season with seasoned salt and set aside on paper towels. In the same wok, drain the oil leaving 2 tablespoons and caramelize the shallots, peppers and chiles, about 4 minutes. Season and add back the squid, mix quickly.
- PLATING: On a large oval, plate the squid.
- WINE: Artesa Sauvignon Blanc Reserve, 1998, Napa
SALT AND PEPPER SQUID
How to make the best salt and pepper squid? You need plenty of seasoned cornstarch and a clean vat of high-heating oil for light and crispy fried squid.

Steps:
- Wash the squid tubes and slice them open to lay them flat. Run the tip of your knife along the squid pieces in a diagonal criss-cross pattern (this will help the squid curl up nicely when cooking).
- Place the squid tubes and tentacles in a mixing bowl and cover with the cornstarch, then cover the bowl with a plate or lid. Hold the bowl and lid together firmly and shake to mix well.
- After shaking, use your fingers to massage the cornstarch into the squid until each piece is separate and is as dry as possible. Add more cornstarch if necessary.
- Finely chop the garlic and chiles. Finely slice the spring onions.
- Build your own wok clock: Place your squid bowl at 12 o'clock, then arrange the garlic, chile, salt, pepper and spring onions clockwise around your plate.
- Half-fill a large pot, wok or deep-fryer with vegetable oil and heat to 180°C (350°F), or until the tip of a wooden chopstick or skewer starts to fizz after a second or so in the oil.
- Carefully add the squid pieces and deep-fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the squid pieces carefully with a slotted spoon and drain well on a plate covered with kitchen paper.
- In a separate wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat. Add the garlic, chile, salt and pepper, then add the squid and toss together a few times. Transfer to a serving plate and scatter over the spring onion to finish. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Put the oil in a frying pan over high heat. Bash the salt and peppercorns in a mortar and pestle until a bit more than bruised but not quite pulverized, and combine this mixture in a freezer bag with cornstarch, adding the squid and tossing to coat well but not heavily.
- When the oil's very hot - not quite smoking, but nearly - fry the squid (knocking any excess cornstarch back in the bag first) in batches (about 4, probably) and cook each batch for about 1 minute or so until just crisp on the outside and still sweet and tender within. You probably won't need to turn the squid since the oil should bubble up and cook both sides at once, but do if you feel better. Remove to plates lined with a paper towel. After the squid's sat for about half a minute, remove the greasy towel - though sometimes, I dispense with this stage - squeeze lemon over and eat with your fingers, quickly.
MEL'S SALT & PEPPER SQUID
I introduced my friends and family to salt and pepper squid at our local Chinese restaurant. Now it doesn't matter which Chinese restaurant we go to - this is the only dish that we order 2 serves of. This tasty version I adapted from Neil Perry's recipe (appears on the Australian Lifestyle channel website). I found the tempura batter a great substitute for the rice flour.

Steps:
- Dry roast spices (salt, both types of peppercorns and chilli) in a pan over a low heat until salt starts to turn golden and spices fragrant.
- Place into a mortar and pestle and cool.
- Once cool, grind with the mortar and pestle to a fine consistency.
- Mix through the rice flour (tempura batter/ flour).
- Heat oil in a wok or saucepan to 180 degrees Celsius (a sugar thermometer is the safest and best way to check your temperature).
- Cut squid into thin strips (or score lightly with knife and cut into larger pieces).
- Dust lightly in the flour mix and cook a small batch at a time to retain the heat in the wok to give your squid crunch.
- Drain on absorbent paper and place onto your plate.
- To Serve Sprinkle some chopped coriander over the top, a bit more salt if you wish and add some lime wedges.
- Great with an Asian beer!
- I hope that you give it a try'cause it's not stringy and not too fishy- it ends up really tender.
SZECHUAN PEPPERED CALAMARI (SALT AND PEPPER SQUID)
This recipe - which works as either a main dish or appetizer - is a result of combining some different "Salt and Pepper Squid" recipes that I hadn't made before. I was aiming for the taste I'd had in a Seattle sushi place, but didn't quite achieve it. On the other hand, my husband and I loved these anyhow, so I decided to write up the recipe so that I - and others - can duplicate it in the future. These are as good as any calamari I've gotten in restaurants! The first time we made them we gobbled them down so fast that I forgot to take a photo... :)

Steps:
- If you got whole squid, clean them first: gently pull the head and tentacles away from the body, then pull out the backbone (quill, aka cuttlebone) from inside the body and discard it and the intestines and ink sac; cut the tentacles from the head just below the eyes and discard head; remove membrane/skin from body.
- (How you cut up the squid at this point is a matter of preference, but here's how I like it.).
- Cut the larger tentacles away from the smaller ones, so that you get some single tentacles in the mix.
- Pull or cut the wings away from the body.
- Cut the body down the center so that you can open the two sides up flat, then make strips that are between 1/8 to 1/4 inch wide and about 1 to 1 1/2 inch long; you can also cut the body into 1/4-inch wide tubes, if you like.
- Rinse all the cut pieces, tentacles, and wings well in a sieve, and let drain.
- In a dry skillet, roast the peppercorns over medium high heat until they begin to smoke; remove from heat, let cool, then use a mortar and pestle or other grinder (I use a coffee grinder) to make into a fine powder.
- In a bowl, mix together the flour, salt, cayenne, garlic powder, and powdered peppercorns.
- Add the drained squid pieces, and toss or stir well with your hand to coat them well, shaking off excess.
- Heat oil in a hot wok or deep heavy pan until very hot (the surface should seem to simmer slightly - you can test it with a single piece to see if it's not enough), then deep fry the squid in batches for 1 to 2 minutes until tender and beginning to turn golden. Do not overcook or your cooked squid will turn rubbery -- blech.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper towels.
- Serve immediately with dipping sauce - we like garlic chile sauce, but cocktail sauce or aioli is nice, too.

- Rinse squid with running water and drain. Slice the cap into 1/3-inch (1 cm) rings and leave the tentacles in one piece. If you use larger squid, you can slice the tentacles into 2-inch (4 cm) bite size pieces.
- Transfer everything into a big bowl and add marinate ingredients. Mix thoroughly by hand. Mariante in the fridge for at least 15 minutes to up to 1 hour.
- When you’re ready to cook, add 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7 cm) oil in a medium-size deep pot. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 375 to 400 degrees F (190 to 200°C). If you do not have a thermometer, place a clean bamboo chopstick into the oil. You should see small bubbles rapidly form around the chopstick. Turn to medium heat.
