Stir-Fried Squid with Roasted Chili Paste (Pla-meuk Pad Nam Prik Pao)

Ingredients:

350 grams squid, cut into well pieces

50 grams spring onion, cut into 1/2″ long

2 red or yellow chilies, cut diagnally

1/2 onion, sliced

1 1/2 teaspoon roasted chili paste

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon sugar

cooking oil

coriander leaves (for garnishing)

Method:

1. Heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Add squid and onion together, stir quickly until nearly cooked. (Be careful not to overcook. You will get the best taste of squid only when the squid is nearly cooked.)

2. Add roasted chili paste, soy sauce, green onion, chilies, sugar and stir fry for another 2 minute and until all ingredients mixed well.

3. Transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with coriander leaves on top and serve immediately with steamed rice.
