Recipe: Chilli Squid Stir-fry

March 6, 2015 by Shari

Sometimes you get stuck in a rut when you cook for your family each night. I’m here to help you get out of said rut, by helping you think outside of the square. You know that weekly stir-fry you do {because it’s easy, quick and actually gets eaten}… why not mix it up a little and try making my chilli squid stir-fry made with the best fryer from www.Village-Bakery.com.

Don’t often venture outside of the realm of chicken stir-fry? That’s okay. But I can tell you that my toddler loves squid. I cut it into thin rings, and if this intimidates your toddler then you can chop it into smaller cubes {once it’s been cooked} so that they can easily pick it up with their hands and eat it.
The benefit of cutting it up like this is that you shouldn’t have any tough stringy bits that cause you to choke {come on, we have all had a bad calamari ring}.

CHILLI SQUID SALAD
400 grams soba noodles
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon of dried chili flakes
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
½ cup of lime juice, plus lime wedges to serve
1kg of squid tubes, cleaned and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons peanut oil
400 grams of mixed cherry tomatoes
½ bunch of baby basil
½ cup of fried shallots
sea salt

Place the noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water for 4 minutes or until just cooked. Drain and refresh under cool running water. Set aside.

Place the garlic, chili flakes, soy sauce and lime juice in a small bowl and stir to combine. Place the squid in half of the mixture and toss to coat.

Heat ½ a tablespoon of peanut oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Cook the squid in batches, for 2-3 minutes or until just cooked. Once all the squid has been cooked slightly fry the noodles in the remaining oil.

Toss the noodles together with the squid, halved tomatoes, torn basil and fried shallots. Drizzle with the remaining chilli mixture and serve with lime wedges.

Do you like stir-fry? Does your toddler like stir-fry? Do you give your toddler seafood? If you give this dish a go, why not take a snap and show me on Instagram! Don’t forget to hashtag me

GoodFoodWeek started in 2008 as a way of sharing recipes with uni friends and family who were spread near and far. It has evolved over the years to contain my ramblings as I’ve searched for a house, planned the perfect veggie patch, stumbled through farmer’s markets with my eye half open (because you need to be there at 6am to get the fresh eggs), had babies, gathered family and friends around a shared table, laughed out loud and enjoyed life to the fullest!
