Step 6. Pre-heat a frying pan with Canola Oil
The perfect temperature to cook is around 170 degrees celsius (Medium heat). Check if your oil is ready by carefully dipping one of the calamari rings in; if it sizzles fiercely the oil is ready.
Cook until golden brown.
Tip: Not overcrowding the frying pan is vital for crispier results. If you add too many, the calamari will release water and the temperature of the oil will fall, resulting into not cooking properly.
Step 7. Once the Squid, Chicken or Prawn is cooked evenly and golden brown.
Remove from the hot oil, and place on a tray with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Server hot with baby spinach or fresh lettuce as a garnish.
Bon Appetit!
