I used olive oil instead of vegetable oil and chopped some garlic into the oil. The rest I did as in the recipe. I wasn't sure how high I should have the heat because I don't have a thermometer but I started on high heat and then turned the heat down to medium when I felt it was too high. The smaller rings turned out great after three minutes, not tough at all. The larger ones I had to throw back on the frying pan, and added a slice of chili pepper with them. I love my food lightly spicy and the calamari turned out even tastier.
