👩🍳 Instructions
- 1 Wash the squid thoroughly, remove the ink sac and cartilage, then rub with lime juice and a little salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes to reduce the fishy smell, then rinse again.
- 2 Briefly boil the squid (30-45 seconds) in boiling water until it changes color, then immediately remove and drain so it doesn't turn tough.
- 3 Heat the oil and butter in a pan over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and slightly golden.
- 4 Add the onion and sauté until softened and fragrant.
- 5 Pour in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and pepper. Stir well with the sautéed seasonings.
- 6 Add the pre-boiled squid, stir quickly so the seasoning coats evenly. Add the water and cook briefly, about 1-2 minutes, so the squid stays tender.
- 7 Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if needed. Sprinkle with green onion, stir briefly, then remove from heat.
- 8 Serve immediately while warm with hot steamed rice.
💡 Tips
• Don't cook the squid too long as it will become tough and rubbery; 1-2 minutes after boiling is enough.
• Soak the squid in lime juice and salt before cooking to remove the fishy smell as much as possible.
• Use real unsalted butter so the savory aroma comes through better than with margarine.
• You can add whole bird's eye chilies if you like a bit of a spicy kick amid the buttery richness.
