Cooking steps

1

Slice the cleaned squid into bite-sized rings and score the body for optimal tenderness; pat dry thoroughly.
2

Slice celery stalks diagonally into thin pieces; slice red bell pepper thinly and mince garlic.
3

Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add 1 tsp sesame oil and swirl to coat. When just shimmering, add minced garlic and stir fry for 10 seconds.
4

Add squid and quickly stir fry for 1–2 minutes on high heat until just opaque—do not overcook to prevent toughness.
5

Add celery and red bell pepper; stir fry for 2 more minutes, keeping the ingredients moving rapidly to maintain their crispness.
6

Season with soy sauce, rice wine, salt, and pepper. Add sliced green onion and toss all ingredients for 30 seconds, then remove from heat immediately.
7

Transfer to a platter and serve hot, ensuring squid remains tender and celery crisp.

Personalized Q&A

Q. What’s the key ingredient in this recipe?

Squid is the key ingredient, bringing high protein, tender texture, and a mild seafood flavor that defines this dish. It’s paired with celery for crispness and contrast.

Q. How do I avoid rubbery squid when making this recipe?

For tender squid, cook it over high heat for only 1–2 minutes just until opaque; overcooking causes toughness. Dry squid well before stir-frying and work quickly for best texture.

Each serving of this recipe contains about 145 kcal, 22g protein, 8g carbohydrates, and 3g fat, making it high in protein and low in calories—ideal for balanced, healthy meals.

Q. Which step is most important for flavor?

Stir-frying garlic in hot sesame oil first infuses the entire dish with aromatic flavor. The quick-hot stir fry is essential to bloom the seasonings and keep vegetables crisp.
