calamari.
sorry to post this disgusting looking squid here. :(
cant help it, its the main lead today!
im missing the calamari in my thailand camp canteen la!
It cost like around 70baht or around 3bucks for a big plate of them and its all nice and super crispy. we will like have calamari with rice + egg and stuffs every consecutive days.
went on my bike, nono i mean my bicycle at 9pm to comb the neighbourhood for squids. finally found the last package at the smaller NTUC outlet. funny thing is the larger NTUC outlet at sun plaza has no more squid o.O
i searched the web for the calamari frying paste but all i found was simple paste with just flour, salt and pepper.
so i innovated the recipe!
below is pepper, oyster sauce(after some thoughts i tot that the taste would be too complicated and gave up on it), sesame oil, hua diao jiu, salt, flour and corn flour.
i found this small shrimp when im cleaning the squid. haha. poor shrimp got eaten :(
okay i shall nt post the pics of me clearing the squid stomach, cutting off the head and stuffs. damn gross ~_~.
the frying batter :DD
start frying!
i started off with one calamari ring first to sample the taste.
my first freshly fried calamari ring!
looks abit pale thou~
more and more calamari rings fried!
i try to control myself not to eat them yet so that i can take a picture with a plate full of calamari!!
but i tried a few and its really not bad!! i realised that you just have to fry it longer so that the skin will be more crispy and the sesame oil really made the calamari really fragrant!
and im telling you, it really taste GOOD!!
oh my, its finally done!!
okay my brother was here to give me a hand. (yes and i mean a hand, not many, coz he only help me fry a few rings and made this weird weird chilli powder cum salt dip)
ended up the dip was abit too saltish, but the spicy part went well with the calamari!
specially bought the lemon too!
then my brother added some grated cheese -_-
hes always have weird ideas up in his mind when doing cooking.
look at the crispy brown calamari!!! :D
CLOSE-UP shots to make you drool even MORE.
and MORE!!!
P/S : oh my. my blog is like ... becoming a cooking blog!
Ytd was banana muffins and today, calamaris.
P/S : my sore throat is coming back! thou its a slight one, but i must cure it before it explodes into a serious one again! drink more water + the 西瓜霜!
