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.

PERFECT CALAMARI - SALT SQUID
This simple calamari recipe is lightly fried with rice flour for a super thin crunchy coat! I hate it when calamari is over breaded and over cooked. The best salt squid I ever had was in china town in NYC. In that little Chinese place their "Salt Squid" was so lightly breaded and the coating was super thin and added the perfect crunch. I found that the secret is the rice flour, for a super thin perfect blend of crunch for the calamari. I also found the way to make the perfect pink spicy dipping sauce, it's simple; mayo & chili garlic sauce mixed.

Steps:
- As with most seafood, first take it back to where it was born, rinse it in cold salty ice water. (sea salt only) This will revive it.
- Cut up calamari into 1/2 inch circle strips.
- Be careful to get the little plastic looking particles out that can be found naturally in squid.
- Mix Rice Flour in a bowl with fresh ground Pink Himalayan Sea Salt and fresh ground Pepper Medley. Be careful to not get the mix too salty.
- Get the grinders that you grind yourself.
- Dip squid into the rice flour mix to get them well coated. Make sure to get the inside too.
- 1:30-2:00 min frying time maximum at about 350-400 degrees in grape seed oil. Only fry small handfuls of calamari at a time.
- The grape seed oil has a really high smoke point and won't burn, it also won't change the flavor of your seafood.
- Set the temp on a little home deep fryer to 400.
- Use a thermometer to wait until you have perfect temperature.
- To make the pink spicy sauce:.
- mix mayonnaise and hot chili garlic sauce vietnamese style together to make the pink creamy chili dip. equal ratios is usually good or add more spicy chili if you like it hot!
- Bam! get ready for a mouthgasm!

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.
