Instructions
- Clean the squid thoroughly and cut it into pieces. Rinse with cold water. Bring a pot of water to a boil, then quickly blanch the squid for 5-10 seconds. Drain and set aside.
- Heat a wok with oil, then add the roasted chili paste and Thai chilies. Stir-fry until the spicy aroma fills the air.
- Add the squid and stir to combine thoroughly.
- Add the fish sauce, stirring a few times before adding the basil leaves. As soon as the leaves are wilted and the squid completely cooked, dish out and serve immediately with rice.
Notes
- How to clean squid?
- Start by peeling off the skin and separating the head from the tube.
- Remove the ink sac from the innards to prevent any bitter taste or staining.
- Rinse the body and tentacles under cold water.
- If the recipe calls for squid rings, cut the tube into rings (about 4 rings for medium-sized squid), and then pat dry with paper towels.
