Method:

Spice mix

Combine the ginger, stock powder, salt and five-spice in a small bowl and set aside.

Calamari

In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour with 15 ml (1 tbsp) oil and 5 ml (1 tsp) water to make a paste. Add the calamari pieces and tentacles and mix to coat well. Sprinkle with cornflour until all the pieces are dry.

Heat the rest of the oil in a pot over medium heat and fry the calamari in small batches until it is done, golden and crisp.

Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. In the same pan, with most of the oil drained, add the spring onions, garlic and chilli and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until aromatic.

Return the calamari to the pan and add 10 ml (2 tsp) spice mixture and toss well. Add the vinegar, toss and serve immediately
