Stuffed Squids

Seafood lovers can have a taste of stuffed squids. Here is a simple way to stuff the squids with fish paste. Fish paste is available in wet markets. The squids are cleaned and the skin, eyes and ink sac are discarded with the tentacles still attached.

Ingredients:

500 gm squid, cleaned with tentacles attached
100 gm fish paste
salt and pepper to taste
1 beaten egg
enough cornflour to coat
enough oil for frying

Method:

Combine fish paste, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Stuff fish paste into squids, leaving only 3/4 full. Secure tentacles with toothpicks.

Dip the squids into the beaten eggs and then coat squids in cornflour. Heat a wok until very hot and put in enough oil to fry squids until they are cooked and lightly brown in colour. Place squids on the plate, garnished with cucumber slices and serve.
