Cooking tips
- Soaking squid strips in water and cooking wine instead of mayonnaise helps preserve their clean taste and soft texture for longer.
- Adding maltose and jujube syrup too early can cause the dish to harden when cooled, so it’s best to add them after the initial stir-frying to maintain tenderness.
- Using chili oil as a base enhances depth of flavor, giving the dish a richer, more balanced spicy-sweet profile.
Recommended for
- Those who want to make a squid stir-fry that stays soft and doesn’t harden in the fridge over time.
- People looking for a clean, moist squid side dish without using mayonnaise.
- Anyone seeking a hearty side dish with the spicy kick of chili oil and the deep sweetness of jujube syrup.
