Here is my take on some really crispy garlicky salt and pepper squid. The recipe also has a hint of heat that comes from Thai chilis and is topped with lime juice to add a little bit of zest. Enjoy!
INGREDIENTS
3 cloves of Garlic
(2 tsp | 5 g ) + (1 tsp | 2.5g ) White Pepper
(1 tsp |6 g )x 2 Salt
1/2 tsp | 1 g Black pepper
2 Scallions
1 Small Red Pepper
1 Ibs | 453 g squid
2 birdās eye chilis or Thai red chilis
1 Egg
2 tbsp | 16 g Cornstarch, potato starch or Rice Flour
1.5 Cup | 200 g Cornstarch extra to coat
2 tbsp | 30 mL Cooking wine (preferrable Shaoxing) or Sake
Canola Oil or Vegetable oil for deep frying
TIPS:
Feel free to COMBINE potato starch, rice flour and cornstarch in a 1:1:1 ratio. I find that having a mixed composition of different flours adds to a more complex texture and even crispier bite!

This looks amazing!!
Go watch some videos on how to properly use a chef knife. This bell pepper, green onions and chili pepper cutting was painful to watch, you're not even using your blade, stop pushing and start sliding. This is not an ax, it's a knife. The tip of the knife should stay on the board and the knife should move like the wheel of a locomotive I'm not saying that condescendingly, more in an educational way. The recipe looks very good.
had this and it came out delicious! thank you!

Should blend the salt and pepper and then sprinkle that on the squid to get a more even coating .
