Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 16 oz squid (cleaned & sliced into rings)
  • 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 2 cups tempura mix
  • 1 cup ice water
  • 4 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon horseradish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instruction

  • Whisk together the ketchup, horseradish sauce, hoisin sauce, paprika and cayenne pepper to make the cocktail sauce. Chill until ready to serve.
  • In a separate bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, soy sauce, sriracha and lemon juice. Chill until ready to serve.
  • Preheat a deep fryer or pan filled with two inches of oil to 325 F. Use a sharp knife to cut the squid into rings.
  • Mix together the tempura batter and ice water. It will be chunky. Dip each ring into the batter then toss into the fryer for 1-2 minutes until the squid is golden brown.
  • Transfer the calamari from the fryer to a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • Serve right away with the prepared sauces and fried rice. Enjoy!
