Cooking tips

  • Adding sugar first when stir-frying squid ensures the sweetness penetrates thoroughly without staying on the surface due to molecular size differences.
  • If the sauce clumps like dough due to lack of moisture when adding seasonings, don't panic; add a little water to loosen it up while stir-frying.
  • Vegetables lose their crispness and release too much moisture if overcooked, so it's essential to stir-fry quickly over high heat to maintain their crunch for the best taste.
  • Serving the finished stir-fried squid over warm rice with a sunny-side-up fried egg creates a fantastic combination for a rice bowl.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a guaranteed rice-stealing side dish with a spicy and sweet flavor.
  • Those who have failed at making stir-fried squid because the sauce was too watery or clumped.
  • Those looking for a hearty and special one-bowl meal for a weekend dinner.
