Main Ingredients- 1 squid (cleaned and prepared)
- 10g butter
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by melting 10g of butter in a preheated pan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add 1 Tbsp of minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic; the goal is to release its aromatic essence.
Step 2
When the garlic is golden, add the cleaned squid to the pan. To ensure a chewy texture, it’s crucial to cook the squid over high heat (strong flame). Stir-fry quickly for 1-2 minutes until the squid turns opaque white.
Step 3
As the squid starts to cook, sprinkle 1 Tbsp of sugar evenly over it. Continue to stir-fry, allowing the sugar to meld with the flavors of the butter, garlic, and squid.
Step 4
Finally, add 1 Tbsp of soy sauce, pouring it around the edges of the pan. On high heat, let the soy sauce quickly caramelize and coat the squid with the delicious seasoning for about 30 seconds. This rapid cooking ensures a great flavor infusion.
Step 5
Squid can easily become tough if overcooked, so cooking it quickly over high heat is key. For an extra touch, sprinkle with black pepper and, if you have it, a pinch of parsley flakes for a visually appealing finish. This Butter-Seared Squid is best enjoyed immediately while warm!
