  • 2 tsp sea salt海盐 2 茶匙
  • 1 tsp white peppercorns白胡椒粒 1 茶匙
  • 1/2 tsp Sichuan peppercorns (optional)花椒 1/2 茶匙（可不放）
  • 1/2 tsp five-spice powder五香粉 1/2 茶匙
  • 100 g cornflour玉米淀粉 100 克
  • 2 tbsp plain flour面粉 2 汤匙
  • 1 egg white, lightly beaten蛋清 1 个，打散
  • 1 L vegetable oil, for frying植物油 1 升（炸用）
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped蒜 3 瓣，切末
  • 2 long red chillies, finely sliced红辣椒 2 根，切圈
  • 2 spring onions, finely sliced葱 2 根，切葱花
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges柠檬 1 个，切角

Method做法

  • 1Pull the head from the body, remove the quill and guts, peel off the purple skin and rinse, then cut the tubes open flat and separate the tentacles into pairs.鱿鱼头身拉开，抽掉软骨和内脏，撕去紫色外膜冲净；鱿鱼筒剖开摊平，须子两两切开。
  • 2Score the inside of the tubes in a light diamond pattern, cut into 3 cm pieces and pat everything thoroughly dry.筒身内侧打浅十字花刀，切成 3 厘米见方的块，全部彻底擦干。
  • 3Toast the salt, white peppercorns and Sichuan peppercorns in a dry pan for 1 minute, grind to a powder and mix with the five-spice.盐、白胡椒粒和花椒下干锅小火焙 1 分钟，磨成粉，再加五香粉拌成椒盐。
  • 4Toss the squid with the egg white, then through the cornflour and plain flour mixed with 1 tsp of the spice salt, shaking off the excess.鱿鱼先拌一层蛋清，再裹上玉米淀粉、面粉和 1 茶匙椒盐混合的干粉，抖掉多余的粉。
  • 5Heat the oil to 190C and fry the squid in three batches for 60-90 seconds each, until pale gold and crisp, draining on a rack.油烧到 190°C，分三批下锅炸 60–90 秒，炸到浅金色酥脆，捞出放网架沥油。
  • 6Pour off all but 1 tbsp of the oil and fry the garlic, chilli and spring onion for 20 seconds.锅里只留 1 汤匙油，下蒜末、辣椒和葱花爆 20 秒。
  • 7Return the squid to the wok, sprinkle over the rest of the spice salt, toss for 15 seconds and serve with lemon wedges.鱿鱼回锅，撒上剩下的椒盐，快速翻炒 15 秒，配柠檬角上桌。

Madam's tip太太小贴士

Bone-dry squid is the whole trick, because wet squid steams inside its coating and the crust slides off; pat it dry and leave it on paper towel for 10 minutes first.鱿鱼一定要擦干，带水下锅外皮会脱浆；擦干后再摊在厨房纸上晾十分钟。
