Salt and Pepper Squid


I've always loved eating salt and pepper squid.  I rarely get to eat it, though, since there are not many places that make it correctly.  This dish is not to be confused with the Calamari made at most Italian restaurants.  Yes, both dishes contain squid, but the seasoning on Salt and Pepper squid is much different.

I found this recipe in the book Easy Chinese Recipes.  The recipe was pretty easy, but very salty.  I've made quite a few recipes in this book and have found them to be very salty.  I thought it was just because I used the "wrong" soy sauce, but this dish was very salty as well, and it uses no soy sauce.

I was able to eat this for 4 meals, though I had it with rice.  I couldn't eat it "plain" because it was so salty.  That being said, it was pretty good.  I'd probably make the dish again with about 3/4 the amount of seasoning specified in the recipe.  This dish did not taste good as a leftover.
