Recipe

Cooking tips

  • When coating the squid with starch, use only the surface moisture—don't add extra water—so the coating doesn't clump and stays crispy.
  • When sautéing garlic and dried chili peppers, keep the heat low to prevent burning and bitterness; gently draw out the fragrance.
  • Add the celery at the very end and stir-fry briefly to preserve its crisp texture and fresh aroma.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy professional Chinese restaurant-style premium snacks at home.
  • Those who love spicy, tingly mala-flavored squid dishes.
