Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1000 grams fresh squid, cleaned
- 60 ml white vinegar
- 60 ml soy sauce
- 60 ml water
- 5 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 pieces bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 medium tomato, chopped
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the fresh squid: remove the head, ink sac, innards, and transparent cartilage. Slice the cleaned squid into rings and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the squid rings with white vinegar and half of the minced garlic. Marinate for about 10 minutes, then drain and reserve the marinade.
Heat cooking oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the remaining minced garlic and sauté until slightly browned. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent.
Stir in the chopped tomato and cook until soft. Add the marinated squid and continue to cook for 3-5 minutes until the squid turns opaque.
Pour in the reserved marinade, soy sauce, water, bay leaves, and black peppercorns. Stir to combine.
Add sugar, salt, and ground black pepper, then simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the squid is tender and sauce thickens.
Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Remove from heat and discard bay leaves before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice and enjoy!
