Shake off the excess and fry it. Season it after frying with whatever you want. Salt and pepper with a dash of cayanne pepper if you like. Then eat it immediately.

Good with broiled seafood or with pancit (noodle dishes).

For an easy one, just use mayonnaise, a touch of mustard and some drops of lemon juice and stir. For Calamares with a “Filipino” taste I suppose you could try a soy sauce based sauce with calamansi although I would find that a bit strong…

Tried adding a pinch of 5-spice powder in the breading instead of the oregano, and it was like i was transported to ongpin.
