2
ingredients
- 453.59 g squid (sliced into rings)
- 226.79 g carrot, shredded
- 14.79 ml peanut oil
- 14.79 ml fish sauce
- 4.92 ml garlic pepper sauce
- 118.29 ml white wine
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper, chopped (remove seeds for less heat, leave seeds in for more heat)
- 4.92 ml garlic, chopped
- 1 sprig cilantro, chopped
- 4.92 ml italian seasoning
directions
- Combine fish sauce, Siracha (garlic pepper) sauce, green onions, red bell pepper, jalapeno pepper, and cilantro in a blender. Blend until well mixed, but still slightly lumpy.
- Heat wok over high heat and add peanut oil. Heat until oil starts to smoke.
- Add squid to wok and cook until done (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add veggie mixture from blender, white wine, shredded carrots, and garlic to wok.
- Cook for about ten minutes, stirring constantly.
- Serve hot. Use the remaining liquid as a gravy for the dish, or pour it over noodles or rice (using it over noodles or rice will significantly up the calories and carbs for this dish). I prefer to leave the sauce in the wok with the rest of the dish. It helps to reheat in the microwave, as it steams to keep the squid tender.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I grew up in an Italian household. My father is a graduate of the Culinary Institute, and my extended family is full of incredible cooks, all of whom know old world Italian cuisine as well as any four-star chef. I learned my way around a kitchen from all of these incredibly talented people. Even though I've never been to culinary school myself, almost all of those that I've cooked for consider me one of their favorite chefs.
Ever since I was a child, cooking has been a passion of mine. I started off with simple things like omelets and tuna salad, and over the years graduated into far more complex and complicated recipes such as various marinades, brines, homemade sauces, sautees, and meals full of subtle and varied flavors, both strong and delicate.
I also love to create new dishes in the kitchen, the successes of which will be posted here. I'll also be posting a few of the old world Italian recipes I make on occasion.
Since my love of food has made my weight rather unhealthy, I've been focusing more on healthy dishes lately, and have been learning various Asian cuisines, as well as relearning cuisines I previously had developed my skills in, in order to eat far healthier, but still enjoy good food.
The cuisines that I've developed my skills with are as follows:
* Mediterranean/Italian/Greek
* Cajun
* Maryland
* General American (steaks/burgers/fried stuff/etc.)
* Tex-Mex
Cuisines that I'm still developing, but have mastered a few dishes, are as follows:
* English/Scottish/Irish
* Various Asian cuisines (Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese)
* Caribbean
