Preparation method

How do you make this?

Cut the squid along one side so that you can open it up and scrape away the slime with your knife. Take your largest sharp knife and make slight diagonal cuts, about every 3 to 4 mm, deep enough without cutting through, from start to end. Give it a quarter turn and do this again, so that you get crosswise cuts over the entire piece. This way, it curls nicely when frying but also absorbs all the flavors well. Then cut it into pieces of 5 to 6 cm and place in a bowl.

First, add all the wet ingredients and mix well together. Heat your fryer to 180°C. Mix in the cornstarch and rice flour firmly and place one at a time in the oil, frying for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown. Let drain on kitchen paper and sprinkle some fleur de sel on top.

Serve with some lemon wedges and aioli.
