- 2 tbsp. mayo (optional)
Serve with:
Traditional: Serve with garlic rice or white rice, and top with sliced chili or scallions.
Mix it up: Serve with sautéed greens.
Instructions
Prep your squid:
- Slice the squid into 1-inch rings.
- In a bowl, combine flour and 1 tsp. each of salt and pepper.
- Toss diced squid and tentacles in flour mixture, tap off excess flour, and set aside.
Let’s get cooking:
- Heat oil in skillet over medium high heat. (Pro tip: easily check if your oil is hot enough by sticking the end of a wooden chopstick / spoon into the oil. If bubbles form around the wood and they start to float up, your oil is ready for frying.)
- Carefully add squid and let fry for about 2 minutes.
- Flip squid and continue frying until golden brown. Add onion, reserving a handful for finishing, continue cooking for 3 minutes until squid is deeply browned.
- Turn heat down to low, add Omsom starter, stir, and season with salt and pepper to taste. For the brightest flavor, try not to boil the starter.
- Crack an egg into the warm pan, and stir to quickly cook the egg. (Pro tip: For extra creaminess, add mayo here.)
- Turn off heat and finish with the reserved onion.
- Serve sizzling hot! Serve with some of our suggested favorites. Enjoy!
