Ingredients
2 squid tubes, halved, scored and cut into bite-sized pieces
salt and pepper, to taste
cornflour, as needed
2 Tbsp oil
1 Tbsp oil
2 tsp chopped garlic
2 spring onions, chopped into 2.5cm (1″”) pieces
1 shallot, diced
1 med onion, chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1 red or green pepper, chopped
3 Tbsp fish sauce
1 Tbsp hot pepper sauce
1/2 tsp sugar
1 Tbsp water
30g (1oz) Thai basil leaves
Directions
Season the squid with salt, pepper and cornflour. Let sit for 15 minutes.
Heat a large frying pan with 2 tablespoon oil over high heat. Stir-fry the squid until cooked through and opaque, 3-5 minutes. Set aside.
