TOYOMANSI CALAMARES
Calamares is the Filipino version of the "Mediterranean breaded fried squid dish", Calamari. There are different methods on how to make this dish; the most usual does not involve breadcrumbs. However, I chose to add breadcrumbs for this recipe for visual appeal and a crunchier texture. So, what is the difference between Calamares and Calamari besides the spelling? :) Well, there is no big difference at all. The only difference that I noticed is the dipping sauce. Calamari is often dipped in marina or other tomato based sauce while Filipino Calamares is dipped in spiced vinegar or toyomans.

Steps:
- Combine squid, salt, and ground black pepper then mix well. Let stand for 10 minutes. Heat a cooking pot the pour-in cooking oil. Dredge the squid in flour then dip in beaten egg and roll over breadcrumbs. When the oil is hot enough 325F, deep-fry the squid until the color of the coating turns brown. Note: This should only take about 2 to 3 minutes in medium heat. Do not overcook the squid. Remove the fried squid from the cooking pot and transfer in a plate lined with paper towels. Serve with Toyomansi or Asian dipping sauce. Share and enjoy!
