Where to find ingredients
Look for fresh squid at the seafood counter or fish market; the other ingredients are usually available in the eggs, flour, spices, and cooking oil sections of a supermarket. If needed, fine dried breadcrumbs can be used as a substitute for breadcrumbs, but keep the original ingredient as the ideal option.
Preparation method
- Season the cleaned squid rings with salt, black pepper, and oregano.
- In a bowl, dip the squid rings in the beaten eggs.
- In another bowl, mix the wheat flour with the breadcrumbs.
- Coat the egg-covered squid rings in the flour mixture, making sure they are well covered.
- Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a frying pan.
- Fry the breaded squid rings in the hot oil until golden and crisp.
- Remove the fried squid rings and place them on paper towels to drain the excess oil.
- Serve the breaded squid rings sprinkled with chopped spring onions.
