Five Spice Squid

A delicious and flavorful seafood dish, this five-spice squid is marinated in a blend of Asian spices and quickly fried for a crispy finish.

Ingredients - Serves 4

In a large bowl, combine the squid, five-spice powder, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Mix well and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch, salt, and pepper.
Dredge the marinated squid in the cornstarch mixture, shaking off any excess.
Fry the squid in the hot oil until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Drain the fried squid on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the five-spice squid hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
