椒鹽大尾魷(非油炸）Oven grilled salt and pepper squid

椒鹽鮮魷是很多人的至愛。魷魚要新鮮，炸起乾身香脆才好吃。配淮鹽，喼汁一流。家中油温始終不及酒樓，好易弄至一口油。食譜的做法是非油炸。沒有氣炸鍋，用焗爐烤也可。當然不及油炸的酥脆卻比較健康方便，亦夠乾身帶焦香味。

選用不容易買到的大尾魷。足足尺幾長，買半隻也要100元，是西貢船民釣的。其肉厚鮮味，肉質爽脆。以簡單調味最吃到本身的鮮。很好吃啊！

紫天椒 3隻(切粒)
蒜 2粒(切幼)

紹興酒 半瓶蓋
鹽 半茶匙
糖 1/3茶匙

細火，白鑊炒海鹽至微黄色。加入1.5茶匙五香粉略炒，試味，跟個人口味略加少許五香粉。取出備用

少許油爆香蒜，乾葱和辣椒粒至香氣，加入1茶匙淮鹽

鮮魷回鑊，炒勻，熄火，灑上少許淮鹽調味

趁熱食，很香，大尾魷很鮮。家人喜歡這版本多於有漿粉那款。即炒淮鹽比現成的更富香氣


Tips:
1. 個別爐温有異，只要高温短時間烤，魷魚便不過火了。
2. 魷魚出水再印乾，之後高温烤會造成邊位較乾。醃時，加入多少少油會有幫助。
3. 淮鹽中海鹽對五香粉約1:1，但因應個人口味，五香粉可增加。炒時必須用細火因五香粉搶火易燶。
