About Steamed squid
Steamed squid is a delicate dish popular in Asian cuisines, especially Chinese and Thai cooking. Prepared by gently steaming fresh squid, this method preserves its tender texture and distinct mild flavor. Squid is rich in protein and low in calories, making it a lean choice for those seeking a nutritious seafood option. It is also a good source of essential nutrients such as vitamin B12, selenium, and phosphorus. However, depending on preparation and added seasonings or dipping sauces, sodium content may increase significantly, so moderation is key. The simplicity of steaming highlights the health benefits, avoiding added fats from frying or heavy sauces. Steamed squid is often served with fresh herbs, lime, and chili for a refreshing balance of flavors. This dish is an excellent option for health-conscious diners looking for a light yet satisfying meal rooted in traditional, wholesome cooking practices.
