Balinese Chili Squid

This is a lovely dish, perfect with white rice.It is not spicy, mild enough that my kids really enjoy it. The recipe requires 1/4 cup of lime juice, which I think is too much and would be too sour for my liking, as tamarind paste is also used for this dish. I only use the juice of two calamansi limes, and it is just right with about 3/4 tablespoon of tamarind paste.
I was tempted to use a big bunch of Thai basil leaves from my garden, but my hubby do not really like the smell of this leaves, so I only use about 8 pieces. Which is great, as there is a light aroma of the leaves without being overpowering. The recipe calls for 1 cup of chicken stock, but I did not use it at all, as when the squid was stir-fried, there's enough juices from the squid, and this is a fairly dry dish, from the photo in the book. And I think by boiling the squid with the chicken stock for a couple of minutes will overcook them, making them tough. But then I'm giving the recipe as it is, feel free to follow the original.

Инструкции

  1. Score the underside flesh of the squid in a fine criss-cross pattern and cut into large pieces. Place in a bowl with the lime juice and season well.
  2. To make the spice paste, grind the chili, garlic, ginger, turmeric, spring onion, tomato, coriander seeds and shrimp paste in a food processor.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a wok.
  4. Cook the squid, chili and spring onion in batches for 2 minutes over high heat - don't overcook the squid.
  5. Remove from the wok.
  6. Heat the remaining oil and add the spice paste, tamarind concentrate and lemongrass.
  7. Cook, stirring, over medium heat for 5 minutes.
  8. Return the squid to the wok and add the stock. Season with pepper and add the basil. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with the extra spring onion. (For this step, I just add the squid and the juices into the wok, season with pepper and add the basil, give a couple of turns in the wok for 1 to 2 minutes and dish out to a serving plate).
