Ingredients

1.5 kg/3½ lb squid tubes, cleaned
1 red onion, peeled and very finely sliced

Method

Cut open each squid tube lengthways to form a flat sheet and score the inside of the squid in a criss-cross pattern. Not only does this tenderise the squid, but it makes it curl attractively when cooked.
Heat a wok, add a little vegetable oil and stir-fry the squid until it curls. Remove the squid, drain on kitchen paper and put to one side.
