I got this recipe from my mom over the phone today cos I was craving for some yummy stuffed squids. She used to make this quite often when we were younger and it used to be one of my fav dish. I bought some nice small to medium sized squids to make this.
Ingredients:10-15 medium sized squids3/4 cup minced pork1/4 cup fresh prawns chopped finely1/4 cup chopped water chestnut2 tbsp chopped coriander1 fresh red chili, deseeded and chopped finely1 tbsp minced garlic1 inch ginger sliced1 cup chicken stock1 1/2 tbsp dark soya sauce3 tbsp light soya sauce1/2 tbsp sugar2 tsp cornfloursalt & pepper
1. Mix pork, prawns, water chestnut, coriander, chili, 1 tbsp light soya sauce, 1/2 tbsp dark soya sauce, 1 tsp of cornflour, a dash of sugar and a dash of pepper in a bowl. Leave to marinade for 30 mins.
2. Clean and drain squids. Marinade squids with some salt for 15 mins.
3. Stuff filling into squid pouches (half to 3/4 full) and stitch opening close with toothpicks. Place stuffed squids on a plate and steam for 4-5 mins. Remove squids from steamer, throw away the toothpicks and keep aside. Reserve the leftover juice.
4. Heat a few tbsp of cooking oil in a wok, fry ginger slices and minced garlic. Add in the reserved tentacles and stir fry for a minute. Then put in the steamed stuffed squid and continue to stir-fry for few mins.
5. Add reserved squid juice, chicken stock, dark soya sauce and sugar. Turn up flame and bring to boil. After 1 min, lower flame and let simmer until sauce is reduced by half.
6. Test taste and add salt & pepper. Add the rest of the cornflour to thicken sauce.
7. Scoop up the stuffed squids, cut into desired bite-sizes and arrange on serving plate. Pour sauce and tentacles over arranged squids. Garnish with some parsley and serve with steamed white rice.
My mom would use only chopped spring onions, pork and prawn in her squid filling. I was out of spring onion but added some leftover water chestnuts instead for that slight crunchy texture, coriander and chili for extra flavor and kick.
