If you're my regular reader,you will notice I posted many seafood dishes. I love all kind of seafood ,squid or cuttlefish is not an exception for me even though it's texture is chewy and soft. I'm a chili or hot pepper lover so whenever I cook squid ,it's have to be hot and spicy .Since I store ample of sambal-belacan-paste and love this spices,why not cook this squid with sambal paste,right?
Ingredients:
2 large whole white squid,about 2 pounds,cleaned and cut
1 large onion,peeled and sliced
1 stalk scallion,washed and cut 2 inch
3-4 tbsp sambal-belacan-paste or add more if you want a stronger flavor
4-5 pieces kaffir lime leaves
1 tbsp sugar or salt to taste
1 tbsp tamarind powder
2 tbsp oil
Method:
1:Clean and cut squid ,drained.Use a sharp knife cut lightly on squid body vertically and then cut horizontally on the same side before cut all the way through for about 2 inch each piece,set aside.
2:Heat skillet at medium high heat with oil,add in sambal-belacan-paste and kaffir lime leaves ,stir-fry for 30 second.Add in cleaned squid ,onion,sugar,salt and tamarind powder,cook for 1 -2 minutes or until squid curl up(cooked).Do not add water,the squid itself have water retention.Check the seasoning.
3:Toss in cut scallion ,dish out and and serve warm with rice or noodle.
