How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh squid
- Generally, fresh squid will have clear, transparent eyes, not cloudy or turning yellow, with pupils clearly visible and not bulging out too much.
- Additionally, you should buy squid with a body that has a milky white color, and when you touch it, you can clearly feel its firmness and elasticity.
- Avoid buying squid that is too soft and mushy, and emits a strange fishy smell as that is a sign that the squid has spoiled due to being left for too long.
How to choose fresh, delicious, quality pork
- You should choose pieces of pork that have bright red lean meat, a dry surface, and are not slimy.
- You can check the freshness of the meat by pressing it with your hand; if the meat does not leave a dent, it is still fresh, and you should buy it.
- Do not buy pieces that have turned dark, smell unpleasant, are slightly pale, are leaking water, or feel slimy when touched.
How to choose delicious wood ear mushrooms
- To get good clean dried wood ear mushrooms, you should prioritize selecting those that are dry, have large, thick caps, and the stems have few small mushrooms.
- Wood ear mushrooms that are dark amber in color, with a slightly shiny upper surface and a light coffee color on the underside are good quality mushrooms.
- Avoid choosing mushrooms that are too dark in color, as they may become mushy when soaked in water or will be less crunchy when cooked. Also, do not buy mushrooms that have white mold or an unusual smell.
How to make Stuffed Squid Fried in an Air Fryer
-
Prepare the ingredients
Clean the squid by removing the intestines, backbone, and beak, then rinse several times with water.
Peeled garlic and onion should be washed and minced finely.
Soak the wood ear mushrooms and vermicelli in water for about 10 minutes, then wash and chop them finely.
-
Marinate the meat filling
You marinate the minced meat with chopped onion and garlic, wood ear mushrooms, glass noodles, 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 3 teaspoons of sugar, and a little ground pepper.
Mix the meat filling mixture well and marinate for about 15 minutes for the meat to absorb the spices.
-
Stuff the meat into the squid
After 15 minutes, you stuff the meat filling into the squid and use a toothpick to secure the opening, so the filling does not overflow when frying.
-
Grill squid using an air fryer
You heat the air fryer to 200 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes.
Then, arrange the squid evenly on the tray (do not stack too thick as it will cause the squid to cook unevenly). You fry the squid at 200 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, you flip the squid and fry for another 10 minutes at the same temperature to finish.
Tip:- Depending on the power of each fryer, you can adjust the temperature and frying time accordingly.
- After the first frying, there will be water in the tray. You should drain this water to keep the tray dry and then continue frying for the second time.
