Crispy Squid with Garlic, Chile, and Basil image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups toasted bread crumbs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound small squid, cleaned, bodies cut into thin rounds, tentacles intact
1/2 teaspoon chile oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
3 yellow inner stalks celery, washed and sliced
1/2 lemon, halved lengthwise and sliced into thin half moons
1 quart frying oil
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, stemmed, washed, dried and torn

Steps:

The lightly beaten eggs should be in one medium bowl and the bread crumbs in another. Season both the eggs and the bread crumbs with salt and pepper. Take the squid rings and tentacles and coat them with the egg. Remove and allow any excess egg to drip off, and then roll the pieces in the bread crumbs. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and refrigerate.
In a medium-size saute pan, heat the chile oil lightly. Add the garlic and season with salt and pepper. Take care not to brown the garlic but instead sweat it so that the liquid emerges and it becomes translucent. Add the sliced celery and stir to coat everything evenly. Cook for 1 minute. Stir in the lemon slices and set aside to cool.
Pour the oil into a heavy-bottomed pot (or alternatively, a deep fryer). Heat the oil slowly to 375 degrees F. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature. Line a baking sheet with a kitchen towel to drain the squid once they are cooked.
When ready to serve, drop the squid, in small batches, into the oil. Fry until crispy, turning on both sides with a slotted metal spoon, about 3 to 5 minutes. Drain them on the lined baking sheet. Season immediately with salt and toss with the basil leaves. Serve the garlic sauce on the side or drizzle over top. Serve immediately.

Stir-Fried Squid with Basil and Garlic image

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds cleaned squid, rinsed well
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 small fresh chiles, preferably Thai, stemmed, seeded, and chopped, or to taste, or crumbled dried chiles or hot red pepper flakes to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons nam pla
1 lime leaf, minced, if available
1/2 cup basil leaves, preferably Thai, roughly chopped if large
Salt to taste

Steps:

Dry the squid well with cloth or paper towels. Cut vertically through the group of tentacles if it is large; otherwise, leave whole. Cut the squid bodies into rectangles, diamonds, or squares, with no dimension greater than 1 inch. The pieces should be fairly uniform in size. Have everything else ready and at hand before you begin to cook.
Put a large nonstick skillet over high heat; add the oil and, when it shimmers, add the garlic, chiles, and coriander. Cook, stirring almost constantly, for 15 seconds. Raise the heat to high, add the squid, and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes, just until it loses its raw look.
Lower the heat to medium and stir in the sugar, nam pla, lime leaf if you have it, and basil. Cook, stirring, for another few seconds, just until the basil wilts. Taste, add salt or more chile or nam pla if necessary, and serve.
Same technique, different ingredients: In step 3, stir in 1/4 cup water, 1 tablespoon go chu jang (page 591) or 1 tablespoon miso mixed with a pinch of cayenne, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (page 596), and 1 teaspoon dark sesame oil. Instead of basil, garnish with minced scallion.
