👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Prepare the stuffing: In a medium bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped shrimp, chopped water chestnuts, half of the chopped scallions, minced ginger, minced garlic, 1 tbsp soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, and white pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
- 2
Stuff the squid: Carefully stuff the squid tubes with the pork and shrimp mixture, filling them about three-quarters full to allow for expansion during cooking. Do not overstuff. Secure the opening with a toothpick if needed.
- 3
Sear the squid: Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed squid tubes for about 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned. Remove the squid from the wok and set aside.
- 4
Prepare the braising sauce: In the same wok, add the remaining 1 tbsp of vegetable oil. Add the remaining chopped scallions and minced garlic, and stir-fry until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add the remaining 1 tbsp soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and water or chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.
- 5
Braise the squid: Return the seared squid to the wok with the braising sauce. Cover and simmer over low heat for 30-40 minutes, or until the squid is tender and cooked through.
- 6
Thicken the sauce: Remove the squid from the wok and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 2 tbsp of water to create a slurry. Pour the slurry into the simmering sauce in the wok, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
- 7
Serve: Slice the stuffed squid into 1-inch thick rounds. Arrange on a serving plate and spoon the thickened sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh cilantro or chopped scallions if desired.
