Serves: 4
Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 14 minutes
INGREDIENTS
- 600g cleaned squid tubes
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tbsp flaked sea salt
- 2 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tsp ground Sichuan pepper
- ¾ cup cornflour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Olive oil spray
- 3 long red chillies, thinly sliced
- 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
- Kewpie mayonnaise, to serve
METHOD
1. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C.
2. Slice the squid tubes in half then open out and pat dry. Lightly score the tubes into a criss-cross pattern, being careful not to cut all the way through. Slice each tube into bite-size pieces then place in a medium-sized bowl along with the egg and toss well to coat.
3. Place the salt, peppers, cornflour and baking powder in a second bowl and mix well to combine.
4. Toss half the squid through the spice mixture then place into the base of the air fryer and spray generously with olive oil spray. Select the FISH function and cook for 6 minutes, turning halfway through, or until golden and crispy. Transfer to a tray and cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining squid.
5. Place all of the crispy squid into the air fryer along with the chilli and spring onion and cook for a further 2 minutes. Serve immediately with a squeeze of lemon juice and a dollop of kewpie and enjoy!
