Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Squid

    Rinse the cleaned squid under cold water and slice it into rings or strips.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice the bell pepper, julienne the carrot, trim and halve the green beans, and slice the onion. Mince the garlic and ginger.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Stir-Fry the Vegetables

    In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions, bell pepper, carrots, and green beans. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.

    Add the minced garlic and ginger to the vegetables and stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Cook the Squid

    Push the vegetables to the side of the pan and add the squid to the center. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the squid turns opaque.

    Stir in the soy sauce and chili paste, mixing everything together. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until all ingredients are well coated and heated through.
