Fried tumeric squids/ Sotong goreng kunyit

I’ve always love fried tumeric squids, or locally, known as sotong goreng kunyit. My mum used to make them for me when I was a little girl, and I could eat them with plain rice over and over again.

Allow me to share the recipe with you. Sorry for the blurred picture though. I don’t quite give a damn about pictures and presentation. As long as the stuff is edible… Plus, my family was hungry, and I forgot to turn on the lights.

LOL…I assure you, the thing is not poisonous. LOL… I’ve been cooking this stuff ever since I was 10. 😛

Ingredients:

200-300 grams of squids, cleaned and cut

Shallots

Tumeric powder

Long beans

Salt

Some cooking oil

Here’s how you do it:

Mix tumeric powder with the squids that has been cleaned and cut in a bowl. Add some salt, and leave it aside for 5 minutes. Cut up some long beans and shallots.

Pour some cooking oil into the wok/pan. Sauté the shallots, and toss in the squids. Let it cook for about 5 minutes before adding the long beans. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, take out and serve with plain rice.

Yield: 2 servings

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cleffairy: Simple, eh? Maybe you can feed this stuff to your family when you’re up to it. 😀

      My parents didn’t spoil me. I started cooking when I was 7… lol… plus, I came from a typical nyonya family. My late grandmother taught all of her granddaughters to cook by the age of 7. It’s expected of us… to be able to cook simple stuff at a young age.
