Time 2m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons neutral oil, like corn or grapeseed
1 1/2 pounds squid, cleaned, cut into rings if large
1 or 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fish sauce (nam pla or nuoc mam), more to taste
Salt if necessary
Chopped fresh coriander leaves for garnish, optional
Cooked white rice for serving

Steps:

  • Put oil in a large skillet or wok and turn heat to high. A minute later add squid and cook, stirring frequently, just until it becomes opaque, about 30 seconds.
  • Taste; the moment the rawness is gone, add garlic and stir; add at least a teaspoon of black pepper. Stir in fish sauce, cook another 10 seconds, and taste; add more sauce and salt, if necessary. Garnish and serve.
