Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Blanching the squid in salted water before stir-frying prevents excessive moisture release during cooking.
  • Only briefly blanch the squid—just enough to keep it tender without making it tough.
  • Since home stoves often have lower heat, it’s essential to cook quickly over high heat to avoid moisture buildup.
  • Adding sesame oil at the end softens the spiciness and adds a rich, nutty flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy a spicy, chewy squid stir-fry at home with minimal effort.
  • People struggling with excess moisture when stir-frying.
  • Anyone looking for a quick, easy appetizer for camping or late-night snacks.
