Ron’s Spicy Squid:
1 chunk of squid, approximately 6 x 4 in.
1 egg, well beaten
⅓ c. flour
Salt and coarsely ground pepper, to taste
3 tbsp. canola oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tbsp. chili-lime flavored hot sauce
½ bunch green onions, chopped
1 fresh lemon (optional)
Rinse hollow tube of squid inside and out under cold, running water. Slice down each side of squid tube to produce two flat pieces. Blot both sides dry with paper towel. Slice each piece horizontally into ½-inch strips. Dip pieces into beaten egg and then into flour seasoned with salt and pepper, coating well. Heat oil in a medium skillet on medium heat. Stir in garlic about 1 min. Add flour-coated slices of squid, browning 30 sec. on each side. Shake hot sauce over cooked squid in pan. Add green onions, stir-frying 1 min. more. Serve hot, with a squeeze of fresh lemon. Serves 2 as an appetizer, or 1 as a main dish.
Note: Standard supermarkets don't sell squid. Ron buys his at a large Chinese supermarket chain.
