Super Easy Golden Recipe for Delicious Stir-Fried Dried Shredded Squid: A Simple Side Dish
Let’s make a quick and delicious stir-fried dried shredded squid that you can whip up in no time. It’s the perfect addition to any meal!
Main Ingredients- 300g Dried shredded squid (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- A little cooking oil or sesame oil (for the pan)
- A pinch of sesame seeds (for added nutty flavor)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
This stir-fried dried shredded squid is a real ‘rice thief’ (meaning it’s so good you’ll eat a lot of rice!) and can be made in just 3-5 minutes. It’s incredibly speedy!
Step 2
First, cut the dried shredded squid into manageable pieces. Aim for about 5-7 cm in length so they’re easy to handle and eat.
Step 3
Lightly grease a non-stick pan with cooking oil or sesame oil over low heat. Be careful not to use too much oil, as it can make the dish greasy. Once the pan is warm, add the cut dried shredded squid. Stir-fry gently over low heat. The key here is to turn off the heat as soon as the squid starts to curl up slightly (about halfway). If you overcook it at this stage, it will become tough.
Step 4
With the heat turned off, add 1 teaspoon of sugar for a touch of sweetness. Give it a gentle toss to distribute the sugar evenly.
Step 5
Now, add 1 teaspoon of soy sauce for savory depth. Sprinkle in a generous amount of sesame seeds for a nutty aroma. Turn the heat back on to a very low setting. Stir-fry quickly for about 40 seconds to 1 minute, just until the squid is fully coated and tender. This brief cooking time ensures the best texture.
Step 6
And there you have it – a delicious stir-fried dried shredded squid! Remember to manage your heat carefully. Cooking over low heat prevents burning and preserves the wonderfully chewy texture. Serve it over warm, freshly cooked rice for a delightful meal!
