Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh squid (cleaned and cut into rings)
- 30 grams Fresh ginger (thinly sliced)
- 4 stalks Scallions (sliced into 2-inch pieces)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce (gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (neutral, like vegetable or canola)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the squid by cleaning it thoroughly, cutting it into rings, and patting it dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the gluten-free soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water until smooth. This will be the stir-fry sauce. Set it aside.
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add the cooking oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the ginger slices and garlic. Stir-fry for 30 seconds to release their aroma.
Add the squid to the wok and stir-fry for 1–2 minutes, just until the squid begins to turn opaque. Be careful not to overcook the squid as it can become rubbery.
Pour the stir-fry sauce over the squid and mix well to coat. Stir-fry for another 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Toss in the scallions, salt, and black pepper. Stir-fry for an additional 30 seconds to allow the scallions to wilt slightly but still remain vibrant.
Remove the wok from the heat and serve the stir-fried squid immediately with steamed rice or as desired.
