  In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients "for the mayonnaise". Keep aside in a cool place.

  Press the squid between two sheets of paper towel to remove any excess water.

• STEP 04

  In a large bowl, beat the eggs.

  In a frying pan (or fryer), pour oil and heat. Carefully monitor the oil. Make sure it is warm enough by gently placing a squid ring.

  When the oil is at the right temperature, place more squid rings in the frying pan. After a minute and a half of cooking, turn them over with the wooden spatula.
