How to cook Calamares

It s one of the Philippines most famous dishes, either with rice or with ice cold beer, as pulutan
that is. It is also one of the easier Filipino dishes to cook. Perhaps
this explains the increasing popularity of street vendors selling
calamares nowadays.

Filipino Calamares Ingredients:

• 1 kg medium sized Squid
  
• 2 egg whites
  
• 1 cup plain (all-purpose) flour
  
• 1 cup oil
  
• 5 pcs calamansi (lime) or 1 pc lemon
  
• Salt
  
• Pepper
  

Filipino Calamares Cooking Instructions:

• Clean the Squid, remove the head, ink sacs and tentacles discarded, outer purple skin peeled off and do not cut squid open.
  
• Slice squid into ½ inch rings. Marinate in calamansi juice for about 15 minutes.
  
• Dip squid rings in egg whites, then dredge in flour.
  
  
• Heat
  oil in a wok and fry squid rings in hot oil a few pieces at a time
  until they turn golden yellow, about 1 minute. Do not overcook as this
  will make the squid tough.
  
  
• Remove squid rings from the wok and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
  
  
• Serve with Garlic Mayonnaise Dip as an appetizer.
