Korean Ojingeo Twigim (Fried Squid Aka Calamari)

• The wifey was in charge of making the kids' afternoon snack and surprised us all with a pretty common Korean street food ojingeo twigim
• which is essentially another word for a more popular Western name calamari. This dish is also often served as an anju (drinking side dish) with many Koreans snacking

1. Let the frozen squid rings defrost at room temperature.
2. Meanwhile, simply make the batter by mixing the frying batter, cold water, and salt until a thick consistency is reached. Add the squid rings and let soak for a few minutes.
3. Pour vegetable oil in a deep frying pan on medium high heat.
4. If time doesn't permit a pre-soak into the batter, simply dip each piece of squid ring into the batter and fry it in the oil until browned. More than likely, oil will splash so be carefully.
5. Transfer to paper towels or napkins to remove excess oil.
6. Serve warm with ketchup, marina, sweet chili, or soy dipping sauce if available.
