Spicy Squid With Carrots image

This is another recipe that was an experiment, but turned out beautifully. It also reheats well in a microwave for leftovers the day after - just don't reheat it at work - your coworkers will hate you.

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb squid (sliced into rings)
1/2 lb carrot, shredded
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon garlic pepper sauce
1/2 cup white wine
2 green onions, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped (remove seeds for less heat, leave seeds in for more heat)
1 teaspoon garlic, chopped
1 sprig cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon italian seasoning

Steps:

  • Combine fish sauce, Siracha (garlic pepper) sauce, green onions, red bell pepper, jalapeno pepper, and cilantro in a blender. Blend until well mixed, but still slightly lumpy.
  • Heat wok over high heat and add peanut oil. Heat until oil starts to smoke.
  • Add squid to wok and cook until done (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Add veggie mixture from blender, white wine, shredded carrots, and garlic to wok.
  • Cook for about ten minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Serve hot. Use the remaining liquid as a gravy for the dish, or pour it over noodles or rice (using it over noodles or rice will significantly up the calories and carbs for this dish). I prefer to leave the sauce in the wok with the rest of the dish. It helps to reheat in the microwave, as it steams to keep the squid tender.
