Sotong Sos Tiram

Squid is an exquisite seafood that can be served on its own as a main dish or as an accompaniment, depending on how it is prepared. It can, however, be a bit tricky to get it cooked to the right texture. For this dish, the trick to getting it done just right is to score and blanch the squid, then plunge it into cold water, before adding it to the cooked spice paste. This will ensure that the squid does not overcook and remains tender.
