1. Salt and pepper seasoning (Jiao Yan/椒盐) can be found in Chinese stores. It can also be made from scratch. Here is how:
Add 1 teaspoon of whole Sichuan pepper, ½ star anise, ½ teaspoon of sesame seeds, ¼ teaspoon of fennel seeds and 4 teaspoons of salt to a pan.
Toast over low heat until the salt grains become a little yellow.
Leave to cool then grind in a mortar or a spice grinder until powdery.
2. You can replace salt and pepper seasoning with a mixture of fine salt and five-spice powder or ground Sichuan pepper.
3. If you don’t have a kitchen thermometer, check the temperature by testing one piece of squid. You should see bubbles immediately appearing.
