Spicy and crispy : Salt and Pepper Squid : Southern States Style.
When i was in Houston, Texas from 2002 to 2006 , not only i continue practicing my chinese cooking skills, but i also learn southern style cooking as well. And this is one of them, that i would like to share with you. Usually we pair this with ice cold Corona beer ( made in Mexico ) but it is also an excellent choice for lunch and diner. Happy Cooking .

Sorry to say, but I can not view anymore of your videos, since this one

now go scratch together something for my lunch… haha! I will be back to
view more of your amazing videos later! Thank you for sharing your
expertise with us all! Greatly appreciated!
LOL.. for a moment ! i thought , i made some one , unhappy. LOL…kind of
makes my jaw drops when i saw your first two sentences. OK . Thanks for
watching. You make my day. LOL…
Well, then my mission has been accomplished… LOL!
+ACHEFBOYIBE Thanks again.
hit it with balsamic vinegar at end..you will love it !!
Yes! I have seen that stuff ( Balsamic type vinegar ) makes it
tastier. Thanks for watching.
yea ,,, it gives it a tart twang
good video thanks !
This looks like a Vietnamese dish that is influenced by Southern Chinese.
A lot of Vietnamese in Houston and we love all sorts of sea food with the
fried-salt-pepper combo with aromatics mixed in. I wonder if you might
have learned this from a Chinese Vietnamese chef.
+Khanh Ho Yes! I did. Houston, TX @ ALief by Cook road / Bellaire . we live
there briefly for 4 years. Nice prediction . thanks for watching.
Love your channel. One day I hope to make it to Houston to see how my
people live!
+Khanh Ho They are hard working, friendly . lot of them open businesses . I
also love their PHO.
I can’t find dried chillies in the country that I’m living now… can I
substitute with pepper flakes/ chilli powder?
Also, I noticed that you use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts…..
+minerallady —- In that case, i need to buy a new wok, un season. But i
have no plan to replace my happy wok ( my old old wok , LOL…). But there
are lot of youtube video you can find. Thanks for asking .
+HAPPY WOK I know…. once a carbon steel wok got seasoned, that wok will
last long…. compared to other non stick wok…
If I buy carbon steel wok, can I season my wok with an electric stove? I
don’t have gas stove…. Any tips?
+minerallady Yes, burn the wok to red hot ( on the center ) , and remove
from heat, then immediately add 2 Tbsp cooking oil, swirl immediately with
metal wok spatula ( important to do this , outdoor, since smoke or a little
fire might or will develop ) ask someone , ready for fire extinguisher and
that you protect yourself from fire and property damages. Or bring it to a
friendly restaurant , than can do it for your for free or for a fee. Be
safe than sorry.
+HAPPY WOK Thanks for the info…. but I still not so sure if I can do the
seasoning that well… I would rather take to a chinese restaurant and ask
them if they can season it for me… i don’t mind if I have to pay a fee as
long as it is at reasonable price….
I have several fav chinese restaurant …maybe I can ask them….
Btw, do you know where I can find a good carbon steel wok?
+minerallady — i would try to check amazon.com —–
