Step cooking
At the preliminary stage, you need to clean the squid. The rest of the cooking process proceeds as follows:
- In a bowl you need to break 3 eggs, and then mix thoroughly until smooth. The peeled squids are put in a separate bowl, poured with boiling water and set aside for 2-3 minutes.
- At this time, the onion is chopped: first, the onion is cut in half, then again in half, and then across the quarters of the rings.
- When the time passes for brewing squid, water drains from them. After that, the carcasses are dried using paper towels.
- A pan with poured oil is placed on a stove overheating.
- At this time, the squid is cut into strips with a knife. It is better to stack them in a stack of 2-3 carcasses immediately.
- When the pan warms up, chopped onion is laid out on it. The ingredient is fried until golden brown. From time to time you need to stir the onion.
- When the onion takes on a golden hue, chopped squids are laid out on the pan. Salt to taste is added to the ingredients in the pan.
- Black pepper is added to them in an amount corresponding to taste preferences. After adding spices, squids are fried for about 1 minute with constant stirring. You don’t need to fry longer, as the squid meat from roasting becomes tough. If a lot of liquid is released from the squid, it is better to drain it.
- After a minute, mixed eggs pour into the pan. A little more salt is added to the poured eggs. The ingredients are thoroughly mixed so that the egg liquid is distributed between the pieces of squid.
- Everything is fried until the eggs are ready, in time it is about 1-2 minutes. When the egg is grabbed from below, and the squids begin to “shoot”, the mass of pieces is turned on the opposite side with a spatula. After that, the second side is fried in the same way as the first - until the egg is seized. When the second side is fried, it remains to remove the dish from the heat. On this, the process of preparing fried squid with onion comes to an end. Enjoy your meal.
