SQUID IN BUTTER AND CHILI GARLIC SAUCE

SQUID IN BUTTER AND CHILI GARLIC SAUCE


My first job was a cook in a bar that was put up by a friend. That was way back 1993 as far as I can remember. It was only a small but quaint place. Great music and ambiance. The patrons are friends and friends of friends. So we practically know every customers. That bar created a lot of memories.

This was the bar's signature dish and everyone loves it.  I haven't done this dish for more than 20 years. Trying it once again brought me back down to memory lane.

Ingredients:

3 medium sized squid  (sliced)
1 tbsp cooking oil
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp Lee Kum Kee Chili Garlic sauce
- salt and white pepper to taste.

Dip:
Kikkoman Soy sauce
Wasabe (optional)


Procedure:

Heat pan, add oil first before adding the butter.
Add the squid when butter is completely melted.
Make sure the squid is cooked. Stir for 1 min.
Add the chili garlic sauce and stir for another minute.

Serve with Kikkoman Soy sauce as dip.
