Spicy squid tentacles are a beloved dish, celebrated for their tender texture and fiery kick. Here’s a simple yet flavorful recipe to recreate this restaurant favorite at home.
Ingredients: 500g fresh squid tentacles, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tbsp chili flakes (adjust to taste), 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 sliced ginger, 2 sliced green onions, 2 tbsp cooking oil, and sesame seeds for garnish.
Steps:
1. Clean the Tentacles: Rinse squid tentacles under cold water, pat dry, and remove any residual skin or membranes.
2. Marinate: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and half the chili flakes. Add tentacles, marinate for 15 minutes.
3. Stir-Fry: Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tentacles and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until they curl and turn opaque.
4. Season: Toss in remaining chili flakes, green onions, and a pinch of sesame seeds. Stir-fry for another minute.
5. Serve: Transfer to a plate, garnish with extra sesame seeds, and enjoy hot with steamed rice or as a beer snack.
For extra heat, add a dash of sriracha or Sichuan peppercorns. This versatile dish balances spicy, savory, and umami flavors, making it a crowd-pleaser in minutes.
