3. Black Rum Cocktails

 

Bottle Suggestions

 

Goslings Black Seal - This Rum holds the patent for their Signature drink, the Dark & Stormy so technically you're breaking the law if your make it with a different bottle. Fortunately, it's pretty much the best option out there for black rums.

 

Plantation Original Dark Rum - Somehow this bottle comes in cheaper than goslings in Australia. I'm not sure how that works out but its a bargain and would be a worthy addition.

 

Let's get to it.

SALT AND PEPPER Calamari

  The fried calamari pieces are swirled in a mixture of crunchy stir-fried garlic, ginger, and fiery green peppers, prepared similarly to Cantonese Salt & Pepper Pork Chops. Semolina flour, all-purpose flour, and cornmeal combine to provide an extra substantial crunch with a genuine depth of flavour as opposed to the traditional method of coating the squid in cornstarch and deep-frying it, which results in an airier crunch. This reminds us of family lunches in Chinatown and weekends spent with my grandparents in Queens. Since it's such a treat, we typically only eat salt and pepper squid in Cantonese restaurants, but now we can make it at home exactly how we like it!

There are variations in schnitzel size. On sometimes, it exceeds the size of the plate it is placed on. The essential need is that it must be thin.
