Asam Sotong Goreng (Tamarind Squid)


This recipe is from Mrs Lee's Cookbook
and it is extremely simple.It is basically squid marinated in Asam/Tamarind and cooked in its own ink.

You just cut up your squid or you can use baby squid and keep them whole, separating the head and the body. Cut out the eyes and, this is important, make sure you don't break the ink sac because basically the ink sac is your sauce. So after cutting up the squid, marinate them in tamarind, tho I don't really think u need to add water as the recipe stated because squid can get a little watery anyway. But either way, after marinating for 30 minutes drain the squid and toss them into a hot wok with a little oil and cook for a couple of minutes till they're done. Make sure by this stage you've popped the ink sac. Remove the squid and leave the inky sauce to reduce, add salt to taste and pour over the squid and serve!

I love squid and so does Caelyn. What about u?
