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. 😀
Oooo…looks like to die for!!! Bet it will be nice with prawns too… Yums!!!
Yes, yes… it’s nice with prawns… and chicken fillets too. LOL…
Cleff, as a friend, I better tell u something…

Hahhahaha… better dun do sins lorrr, temp people. I feel bad showing off the food when I can’t really feed people with it.
LOL… Actually I anyhow snap picture… not good at snapping pictures, summore using my phone to snap. Too lazy to take out my camera. Besides… my sharks were waiting to chomp down the food liao that time. Dun even have time to model the stuff properly. LOL…

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.
Hey, now only i know u can cook so well.. at least better than me leh.. when can i try? i love sambal squids too esp with petai added in! but long beans also can do la.. cos petai nowadays expensive too..
Hahahaha? This one you say can cook well? This sotong goreng kunyit is a very simple stuff, unless you dunno how to clean the squid’s ink la. LOL…Sure you can try it, Claire. Go for it. Hahaha… try cooking first… if tak jadi, when you come KL… I’ll feed you! LOL…
Ah… sambal sotong… my mum and my late grandmum makes the best sambal sotong ever… with petai too, no less. I’m not so good at making sambals, though… and that would have irked my late grandma. 🙁
Yea… petai these days expensive. I like to eat petai too… but hard to get cheap ones these days.
