Serves/Makes: 4 - 6

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds cleaned squid
• 2 teaspoons freshly ground Szechuan peppercorn
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup ice cold water
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 to 4 cups oil for deep-frying, or as needed
• 2 tablespoons salt

How to cook:

• Stir-fry the salt and black pepper in a heavy frying pan over medium-low heat, shaking the pan, until the salt darkens. Remove from the heat. Cool.
• In a small bowl, stir the egg into the ice water. Stir in the flour to form a thick, lumpy batter, being careful not to overmix (the batter should resemble a pancake batter).
• Heat the oil to 360 degrees Fahrenheit. Dip the squid into the tempura batter, using your fingers to coat the squid pieces. Add the squid and deep-fry until golden brown and crispy. Drain.
