Spicy Calamari Rings

Came back from my sister's place last week with lots of goodies, still have some calamari and fish left in the freezer. Those calamari were fished by my brother in-law, he went on a fishing trip when I was there.

During a week of stay there, I ate lots of calamari. Teased my lovely sis if we need a cholesterol check after eating calamari for a week. Those calamari were so fresh that T also loved it. In the past, he would never touch those bought from market whenever I cook.

I have been eating different flavours of fried calamari last two weeks, this is one of my favourites - spicy fried calamari. For the coating, mix together ground black pepper, 5-spice powder, salt and corn flour. Pat dry calamari and coat with the coating mixture, then deep fry for not more than 2 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges and mayonnaise.

...got to check my cholesterol level SOON.
