Stir Fry Squid

Stir fry squid is one of my mother’s signature dishes and this dish is also our (my siblings and I) favourite. I cooked this dish recently and my kids love it too.

It is a simple dish to cook. Please allow me to share with you this recipe.

 

Ingredients

250 gm squid (cleaned)

1 tbsp vegetable oil

1 brown onion (cut into 4)

½ tsp chopped garlic

1 tbsp soy sauce

¾ tbsp dark caramel sauce

¾ tbsp oyster sauce

¼ tsp white pepper

1 fresh red chilli (sliced thinly)

 

Squid

 

Chilli and brown onion

 

Procedure

Score each piece of squid to make a crisscross pattern, cut the squid into 2 x 2 inch squares.

Heat a wok or pan over high flame. Pour vegetable oil into it. Fry onion till brown. Add garlic. Saute garlic till golden brown.

Add squid and continue to fry in very high heat as quickly as possible. When pieces of squid begin to curl up, add the sauces. Stir and mix well.

As a result of using very high heat, the squid is perfectly cooked. It becomes tender and juicy and not chewy or rubbery.

 

Lastly add cut chilli and toss briefly to mix.

Dish and serve immediately with rice.
