Method

Ingredients

Place a saucepan over a high heat and add canola oil.

To make the sweet chilli sauce, add chopped red chillies to a small saucepan with white-wine vinegar and reduce to half.

Score calamari steaks in a crisscross pattern and slice into 2 cm strips.

Season self-raising flour with sea salt and ground black pepper, dip the calamari into a bowl of beaten egg and coat in the flour.

Add to the hot oil and deep-fry until golden. Remove and drain on kitchen towel.

Serve with green leaves and the homemade sweet-chilli sauce and a bowl of shoestring potatoes or potato crisps.
