Dark Soy Sauce Squid Recipe
This easy homemade dark soy sauce squid recipe is perfect for any seafood lover. It's a delicious and easy-to-follow guide that will show you how to make the perfect squid dish.
Ingredients
- 1 pound of fresh squid cleaned and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup of dark soy sauce
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground white pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of sesame oil
Instructions
- Start by preparing the squid. If you are using whole squid, cut off the tentacles and discard the innards. Then, slice the body of the squid into bite-sized pieces.
- In a small bowl, mix together the dark soy sauce, minced garlic, cornstarch, sugar, and white pepper. Stir well to combine all of the ingredients.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the squid pieces and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until they are lightly browned and just cooked through.
- Add the soy sauce mixture to the pan and stir to coat the squid evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and the squid is fully cooked.
- Stir in the sesame oil and remove the pan from the heat. Serve the dark soy sauce squid immediately, garnished with chopped scallions or fresh herbs if desired.
