• 400 ml canola oil, plus extra for greasing

• 250g fresh squid tubes and heads, cleaned

Cooking Instructions

1. Whisk the flour and soda water together until no lumps remain, then fold in the beaten egg white.

2. Heat the oil in a small saucepan over a high heat.

3. Slice the squid tubes into thin strips, dip them into the batter to coat them generously and then carefully drop into the hot oil.

4. Fry for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until cooked but tender and golden, then remove using a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.

5. Serve warm, scattered with sea salt, with a sweet chilli dipping sauce and fresh limes on the side.
