Prepared in a similar manner to Cantonese Salt & Pepper Pork Chops, the fried pieces of calamari/squid are tossed in a mixture of crunchy stir-fried garlic, ginger, and hot green peppers. The squid is coated in cornstarch and then fried, yielding an airier crunch, but the mixture of semolina flour, all-purpose flour, and cornmeal makes for an extra hearty crunch with a real depth of flavor.
