Crispy Squid Rings with Hot Dipping Sauce

In this recipe I dip the squid rings in a thick batter to make delicious fritters. Before eating I dip them in a delicious sauce similar to those that you would find in Laos (the country of a million elephants) or in Thailand. I call it the elephant sauce, it goes perfectly well with seafood and fish, it combines hot, sour, slightly sweet and a hint of ginger.

Serve this dish as an aperitif, an appetizer or as tapas. Preferably use fresh squids. The dough is the same as that of the crispy fried shrimp recipe, you can also use it with pieces of fish, crab, prawns...

You can make these fritters in advance and briefly warm them in the oven, they stay crispy. Bon appétit.
