1. Crush together the peppercorns, chilli flakes and sea salt with a pestle and mortar then mix with the flours. Slit the squid hoods down one side, open out then score the inside lightly in a criss-cross pattern. Cut into bite-size pieces.
2. Fill a large pan or wok 1/3 full with oil. Heat until a cube of bread browns in 30 seconds. Coat the squid pieces in the flour, shaking off the excess, and fry for 1-2 minutes or until golden. Serve with lemon wedges.

  Delicious! I have made this twice now - both times for dinner parties and both times it has been a resounding success. My brother-in-law now thinks I am the world's greatest cook! We like our food slightly spicier, so I added slightly more chilli-flakes.

  I made this up last night for my family and was surprised at how much my kids loved it (5yo and 2yo). I didn't have the Szechuan peppercorns so I used blackpepper. Will absolutely be making this again and again!!!!

  Very tasty! Second time we left out peppercorns and added more chilli flakes and swapped sea salt for garlic salt - just for a change and served with the lemon, garlic mayo and some rocket. Perfect!

  This is a fab recipe although next time I would add a little more of both the peppercorns and chilli flakes for a bit more spice. I also garnished with some chopped garlic and spring onions fried off in a some dark soy, which went down a treat :)
