Soy Sauce Baby Squid

Soy Sauce Baby Squid

Most of the time, baby squid is stir-fried with garlic and fermented black beans, but my daughter doesn't like the taste of fermented black beans. So, I use soy sauce to stir-fry it instead. This soy sauce seasoning is very fragrant and delicious, and combined with the tender and chewy baby squid, it tastes fantastic. The method is very simple. If you like baby squid, you must give it a try—you'll definitely love it!

Notes

Tips and notes
1-Blanching the baby squid in water first can prevent excessive moisture and ensure it cooks quickly.
2- Add the soy sauce seasoning in three separate batches, ensuring each time to bring the sauce to a boil and stir-fry until fragrant (about 30 to 45 seconds) before adding the next batch of sauce to stir-fry.
3- The sauce must be stir-fried until fragrant to bring out its flavors. Adding it in three separate batches helps maintain high heat and prevents the dish from becoming too wet, otherwise it may turn into a braised dish with soy sauce with_baby squid

首先多謝教學。我都跟閣下學了不少菜式。感謝🙏

但今次材料和步驟都漏了不少,可以補圓嗎?

例如:粟粉沒有列在 ingredients內,但 instruction 有提、魷魚要𠝹花也沒有提、椒絲也不在 ingredients 內等等。
