Method

Clean and peel the squid and cut into rectangular strips about 2 inches long and
1 inch wide.

Gradually add the frying mix to the cold water and whisk until thickened with a butter milk consistence.

Heat the oil to 340F or 360F. Dip the squid in the batter (shake off excess) and place in the oil. Use a slotted spoon to drop them in. Take the squid (fry first) or sesame leaf out of the oil just when the batter gets light brown and place on a rack or paper towel to drain off the excess oil. This usually takes less than two to three minutes, depending on the temperature of the oil. Serve squid on sesame leaf or toothpick together with dipping sauce on the side.
