Tempura squid with sweet chilli sauce

By Hannah Lewry

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

150 g flour
½ cup ice-cold soda water
1 free-range egg white, beaten
2 cups canola oil
250 g fresh squid tubes and heads, cleaned
Sea salt, to taste
Sweet chilli sauce, for serving
Fresh limes, for serving

Method

Whisk the flour and soda water together until no lumps remain, then fold in the beaten egg white.

Heat the oil In a small saucepan over a high heat. Slice the squid tubes into thin strips, dip them into the batter to coat generously and carefully drop into the hot oil.

Fry for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until cooked but tender and golden, then remove using a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.

Serve warm, scattered with sea salt, with a sweet chilli dipping sauce and fresh limes on the side and a handful of shoestring potatoes or potato crisps.

Cook’s note: You can substitute cleaned prawns for the squid if you prefer.
