  1. A wise man told me, the only way to cook fresh squid is either 2mins or 2hrs. this way its no rubbery. Game changer! This looks beautiful i cant wait to try it.

  2. Yay finally some actual msg not chicken powder! 🎉👌. Looks great, can u do a salt n chilli version pls, my all time fav 😍

  3. I'm not a fan of strong tasting fish and generally shy away from fish/seafood. Never had squid, is this a mild fish flavour and you're adding flavour to it with the spice? It looked good!

  4. If you're looking to fry oil safely, perhaps turning the wok handle to the side would be advisable. The way you've got the wok during the video – you're just asking for a disaster.

  5. Thanks Lance. I’ve been thinking about making this for my wedding anniversary and your recipe looks amazing. Ps, 37 years married and I have made a tradition of making one of her favourite foods every year.

  6. Dzięki za przepis. Na pewno zrobię. A co byś zrobił z takiej dużej kuli kupionej w markecie szynki wieprzowej bez kości,albo łopatki wieprzowej.Doradź,albo nagraj filmik z przepisem. Jestem z Polski z miasta Kraków i miło na ciebie zawsze patrzę.🌹🌹🌹

  7. Is the custard powder necessary? I’m asking bc I’m lactose and gluten intolerant and most custard powders contain both 😮😢
