Ingredients
- 400 grams Fresh squid (cleaned and cut into rings)
- 30 grams Fresh ginger (peeled and julienned)
- 4 stalks Scallions (trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (toasted)
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil (for stir-frying)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground white pepper
Directions
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients by cleaning the squid, peeling and julienning the ginger, cutting the scallions, and mincing the garlic.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and water. Stir until the cornstarch is dissolved and set aside.
Step 3
Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Step 4
Add the ginger and garlic to the hot pan and stir-fry for 30 seconds, or until fragrant but not browned.
Step 5
Increase the heat to high and add the squid to the pan. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes until the squid turns opaque and curls up. Remove the squid and set it aside on a plate.
Step 6
In the same pan, add the scallions and stir-fry for 1 minute until slightly softened.
Step 7
Return the squid to the pan and pour in the soy sauce mixture. Stir well until the sauce thickens and coats the squid and scallions evenly, about 1 minute.
Step 8
Drizzle the toasted sesame oil over the dish and sprinkle with ground white pepper. Stir one last time to combine.
Step 9
Remove from heat and serve immediately with steamed rice or as a standalone light meal.
