Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh squid
- 30 grams Fresh ginger
- 4 stalks Scallions
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (gluten-free if needed)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Neutral cooking oil (e.g., vegetable or avocado oil)
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground white pepper
Directions
Step 1
Clean the squid thoroughly by removing the head, ink sac, inner cartilage, and skin. Rinse well under cold water. Slice the squid into rings about 1 cm wide.
Step 2
Peel the ginger and cut it into thin matchstick-sized strips. Set aside.
Step 3
Trim the scallions, then slice them into 2-inch pieces. Separate the white parts from the green parts.
Step 4
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and ground white pepper. Set aside.
Step 6
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the neutral cooking oil and swirl to coat the surface.
Step 7
Add the minced garlic and ginger matchsticks to the wok. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 8
Increase the heat to high. Add the squid rings and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until they just begin to turn opaque. Be careful not to overcook, as squid can become rubbery.
Step 9
Add the white parts of the scallions and the soy sauce mixture. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring the squid is evenly coated with the sauce.
Step 10
Drizzle the sesame oil over the squid and toss to combine. Add the green parts of the scallions and stir-fry for an additional 30 seconds.
Step 11
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if necessary.
Step 12
Remove the dish from the heat and serve immediately. Enjoy with steamed rice or as part of a larger meal.
