Squid and Bell Pepper Stir-Fry
Stir-fry is a versatile cooking method that hails from the Far East and continues to captivate taste buds around the globe. But this isn't just any stir-fry. By infusing the tender goodness of squid with the crisp sweetness of bell peppers, we create a dish that stands at the intersection of healthy, delicious, and culturally rich cuisine.
A simple Broccoli and Apple Salad with Walnuts or a nourishing cup of Egg Drop Soup can cleanse your palate and add a fresh component to your meal, balancing the heartiness of the stir-fry.

How to Make Squid and Bell Pepper Stir-Fry
Cut the squid tubes so they can lay flat and score the surface diagonally with a sharp knife, then cut the opened tubes into 1-inch strips.
Heat a wok over a high heat, melt-in some cooking fat and add the bell peppers, squid pieces and squid tentacles all at once.
Stir-fry, stirring constantly, until the squid becomes opaque white.
Now over a medium heat add the curry powder, season to taste with salt and pepper and stir-fry, stirring, for another minute or two.
