Ingredients
- 450 grams Fresh squid, cleaned and cut into rings
- 30 grams Fresh ginger, thinly sliced into matchsticks
- 4 stalks Scallions, cut into 2-inch lengths
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Neutral cooking oil (e.g., vegetable or canola oil)
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional, for heat)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, cornstarch, and water to create the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral cooking oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the squid rings and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until they just turn opaque. Remove the squid from the pan and set aside.
Step 3
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan, followed by the ginger and garlic. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 4
Add the scallions and stir-fry for 1 minute, or until they are lightly wilted but still crisp.
Step 5
Return the cooked squid to the pan and pour in the prepared stir-fry sauce. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and, if desired, chili flakes.
Step 6
Toss everything together and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the ingredients evenly.
Step 7
Remove from heat and serve immediately with steamed brown rice or a side of your choice. Enjoy!
