‘Squidy- ready – Do’ Salad

April 1, 2009

Topic ingredient:  Squid

squid_in_the_seaAs probably many heard that sea food in general is higher suggested by the Health Professionals than normal meat. It’s light for stomach digestion and normally very delicious too. What i dug on squid is that it is a perfect source of Selenium, Riboflavin and Vitamin B12. Quite a rare collection, huh?!

Moreover, I found an interesting article on Squid which tells us that lots of harmful bacteria “live happily in fish but avoid squid”. Squid has its own bacteria that defends itself from all the infections that paralyze all other fish-like species. This is amazing, dont you think?

From Now on, from all the sea food I feel like eating only squid! :P

And now…. Let’s make Squidy-Ready-Do Salad! (for 2 serving)

This dish is too simple, if you have squid which is already skinned. But if you start with a row un-skinned  squid (which is much better, if you want to make sure about safety of your ingredients), then you can refer to the article “How To Handle Squid In Your Kitchen” . cut broccoli

When squid is cut prepare the other very healthy ingredient – broccoli! One medium – to big size floret. Wash it and cut in such a way that all florettes are untouched. Just try to divide different florettes from each other. I love broccoli because of it’s always free and green and flowery look ;)

Now, put the water to boil and add salt (1 tea spoon for 1 litr of water). First we gonna boil squid. Be aware that the less you boil squid or broccoli, the more vitamins you will eat.

15 seconds of squid boiling (the water should boil!). And then You can put broccoli to the same salty water and boil:

40 seconds.

Now – the sauce part. Mix all the given below ingredients: (spoon = sp = table spoon; tea spoon = tea sp)

1 sp of watersquid- broccoli salad sauce

1 sp of sugar

2.2 sp of vinegar

0.5 sp of fish vinegar (the one against the fish smell)

1 sp of syrup (sugar syrup or so)

0.6 sp of soy sauce

0.3 sp of sesame oil

0.5 tea-sp of salt

0.3 sp of red pepper powder

1 tea-spoon of mustard.

You can put little more water if you wish, after mixing the sauce. It will look like very little for such amount of squid meat and broccoli, but believe me, its enough. When I made twice as what I suggest in the recipe, The remaining of sauce lasted for another 4-5 days! So, pls don’t repeat my mistakes! ;)

I hope you like it!

P/s: if you dont have fish vinegar, you may put simple vinegar instead!
