  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 :)

  Delicious, and was really surprised at how cheap squid is! I served this on a bed of rocket and was very pleased with myself! The only warning I would give is ensure that the fat really is as hot as it can get as intitially i put the squid in to early and the flour doesnt go crispy which is horrid, but as long as your fat is hot it will be a success!

  The perfect starter - quick and easy, yet looks impressive and tastes delicious! Groundnut oil really does enhance the flavour of deep frying. I just used black peppercorns, and garnished with chopped fresh chilli and a bit of fresh coriander. Good enough for a dinner party, I'll be serving this tomorrow as our starter when friends are round.

  I absolutely love this recipe! Unfortunately my boyfriend is allergic to nuts, does anyone have any suggestions for a different type of oil that will get hot enough and taste great?

  @ YumYum, to avoid the nut allergy problem you could you grapeseed oil.

  Made this and it was delicous. However, then found another recipe which required you to do the following after cooking the squid. Add ginger, garlic, chinese five spice, coriander powder, 1 chicken stock cube powder,salt and pepper and two tablespoons of Shaorxing Wine or substitue with Gin and cook for a couple of minutes then add squid back into the wok for a minute and serve. I added a little water as well. It was to die for and my husband who doesn't eat squid loved it.
