Stir-Fried Ginger Calamari Recipe |
Ingredients: |
4 ready-prepared baby calamari (squid), total weight about 250 g 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1-inch piece fresh root ginger, peeled and finely chopped Juice of ½ lemon 1 teaspoon granulated sugar 2 scallions, chopped |
Method: Rinse the calamari well and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the bodies into rings and halve the tentacles, if necessary. Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan and cook the garlic until golden brown, but do not let it burn. Add the calamari and stir-fry for 30 seconds over a high heat. Add the soy sauce, ginger, lemon juice, sugar and scallions. Stir-fry a further 30 seconds, then serve. Cook’s Tip: Calamari (squid) has an undeserved reputation for being rubbery in texture. This is always a result of overcooking it. |
