Method:

DRESSING
Blend dressing ingredients and pour into a bowl.
Slice calamari down the side to open, and spread flat on a board, remembering which side was the outside.
Cut into 4 cm wide strips and slice into rectangles.
Score outside surface quite deeply in a criss-cross pattern.
Heat oil until smoking hot.
Make sure calamari is as dry as possible.
Add calamari, outside surface down, and flash-fry for two to three minute, then flip over and fry the other side for two to three minutes, until it becomes opaque and golden.
Remove and, while still hot, toss with dressing.
Add remaining ingredients and serve immediately.
