- Carrot 40g (finely diced)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the main ingredients: cuttlefish and sea snail. Cut the cleaned cuttlefish into bite-sized pieces, about 1cm in size. Similarly, cut the shelled sea snail into manageable pieces. Avoid cutting them too small to maintain a pleasant chewy texture.
Step 2
Now, it’s time to prepare the vegetables that will add flavor and texture. Finely chop the scallions to release their aroma. Dice the carrot and onion very finely; this will add sweetness and color, and ensure they integrate well with the rice.
Step 3
Let’s start stir-frying! Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped scallions and sauté until fragrant. This process will create a natural ‘scallion oil’ which removes any unwanted odors from the seafood and enhances the overall flavor.
Step 4
Once the scallion oil is fragrant, add the cuttlefish and sea snail to the pan. Stir-fry them together. You’ll see the seafood become plump and release a delicious aroma as it cooks. Keep stirring to ensure even cooking.
Step 5
When the seafood is about halfway cooked, it’s time to add the rice. Add the warm cooked rice to the pan along with the oyster sauce, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Use a spatula or spoon to thoroughly mix everything together, ensuring the rice grains are separated and evenly coated with the sauces and seafood. Stir-frying until the rice is heated through and flavors are well combined is key.
Step 6
Once everything is well combined and the irresistible aroma fills your kitchen, your Cuttlefish and Sea Snail Fried Rice is ready! Serve it hot in a bowl for a beautifully presented and satisfying meal. For an extra touch, you can garnish with shredded seaweed or sesame seeds.
