About Sotong

Sotong, commonly known as squid, is a versatile seafood ingredient widely used in Asian cuisines, particularly Malaysian, Singaporean, and Thai dishes. This lean protein source is rich in essential nutrients like vitamin B12, phosphorus, zinc, and selenium, which support energy metabolism, immune function, and bone health. Sotong is also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, beneficial for cardiovascular health. Typically enjoyed grilled, stir-fried, or deep-fried, it has a tender texture and mild flavor that pairs well with bold spices and sauces. While sotong itself is low in calories and fat, preparation methods like batter-frying or cooking in rich sauces can significantly increase its calorie and fat content, making the dish less healthy. For a nutritious option, opt for grilled or steamed sotong paired with fresh veggies for a balanced meal.
