Squid With Garlic And Chilies Recipes

Steps:

• Put oil in a broad skillet over high heat; a minute later, add squid, salt, pepper and chili flakes; cook, stirring, until squid is opaque, about 60 seconds (do not overcook).
• Add garlic, basil and lemon juice and stir for about 30 seconds. Turn off heat, add bread crumbs and serve.

Steps:

• The lightly beaten eggs should be in one medium bowl and the bread crumbs in another. Season both the eggs and the bread crumbs with salt and pepper. Take the squid rings and tentacles and coat them with the egg. Remove and allow any excess egg to drip off, and then roll the pieces in the bread crumbs. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and refrigerate.
• In a medium-size saute pan, heat the chile oil lightly. Add the garlic and season with salt and pepper. Take care not to brown the garlic but instead sweat it so that the liquid emerges and it becomes translucent. Add the sliced celery and stir to coat everything evenly. Cook for 1 minute. Stir in the lemon slices and set aside to cool.
• Pour the oil into a heavy-bottomed pot (or alternatively, a deep fryer). Heat the oil slowly to 375 degrees F. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature. Line a baking sheet with a kitchen towel to drain the squid once they are cooked.
• When ready to serve, drop the squid, in small batches, into the oil. Fry until crispy, turning on both sides with a slotted metal spoon, about 3 to 5 minutes. Drain them on the lined baking sheet. Season immediately with salt and toss with the basil leaves. Serve the garlic sauce on the side or drizzle over top. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• 1. Clean Squids and remove Skin.Then with a sharp knife open out tubes.Using a sharp knife score shallow,diagonal cuts on the inside of each squid in a criss cross pattern. Cut the scored Squid in half,then into 2 inch strips
• 2. Heat 1 Tablespoon of the Oil in a Hot Wok until surface appears to shimmer slightly. Add Half the Squid and stir Fry for about 30 Seconds. Remove from Wok with slotted spoon and set aside.
• 3. Add remaining Tablespoon of the oil to the hot wok and toss in remaining Squid and stir fry for 30 seconds as before.Do not remove from wok.
• 4. Return reserved cooked squid to the wok together with the ginger, garlic and chilli and stir fry for 30 seconds stirring constantly to ensure garlic does not burn.
• 5. Add the wine or sherry,water,sugar and salt and stir fry for 20 seconds.
• 6. Toss in Spring Onions and stir fry for a further minute or until squid is just cooked through.
• 7. Finally ..add a little Lime Juice and remove from heat.
• 8. Arrange the Squid on a platter in a pile,garnish with some thinly sliced shards of fresh Red Chilli and serve with Lime Halves

Steps:

• Rinse the squid under cool running water. Drain and transfer to a paper towel to dry completely. Cut the bodies into 1/2-inch rings and leave the tentacles whole. Pat dry again with paper towels.
• Place a large skillet over high heat. Let the pan get very hot, for a good 5 minutes. Move the squid from the paper towels to a bowl, so that they don't stick before you add them to the pan. Add half the oil to the skillet. Sprinkle half the squid with salt, slide them into the pan along with half the chiles and cook without moving for 1 minute. Flip squid and stir in half the garlic; cook 1 to 2 minutes more, until squid is tender. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining squid, garlic, chiles and oil. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan; if your skillet doesn't fit the squid comfortably, cook them in smaller batches.
• Squeeze lime all over the squid and sprinkle with mint.
• Top the crusty bread with sliced avocado if you like, and season avocado with salt and lime juice. Serve with the squid.

Steps:

• Clean and prepare the squid as described in the box on page 198. Cut the body pouches in rings.
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Put in the garlic and chilies and the squid. Season with salt and pepper and sauté briefly, turning over the pieces, for 2-3 minutes only.
• Sprinkle with cilantro and serve hot with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Separate squids' tentacles from bodies. Slice bodies into rings; cut tentacles in half if large. Rinse, and put in a strainer. Strip greens' leaves from stems; discard thickest stems. Chop, rinse and dry; you want about 4 cups.
• Put oil in a broad, deep skillet over high heat. Add chili and garlic, and stir until they sizzle. Add greens, and cook, stirring, until wilted, 2 minutes. Add squid and a large pinch of salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until squid gives up its liquid and becomes opaque, about 2 minutes. Taste, and adjust seasoning, adding soy sauce or nam pla if desired. Serve immediately.

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.
