Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding cooking oil to the batter creates tiny air pockets during frying, which enhances crispiness by preventing oil absorption.
  • Making score marks on the squid and applying dry starch first ensures the batter adheres firmly without slipping off.
  • Since kung pao sauce is a dry-style sauce, it must be quickly stir-fried over high heat after adding the squid to prevent the batter from becoming soggy.

Recommended for
