Ingredients

1 lb calamari*

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 egg white, slightly beaten

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 red bell pepper

4 scallions

1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic

1 teaspoon finely chopped ginger

2 tablespoons szechuan chilli paste

6 tablespoons chicken stock

1/2 teaspoon oriental sesame oil

*Larger-sized calamari with thick walls are best suited to this dish

oil for stir-frying

Directions

Clean calamari, scoring the flesh and cutting into pieces.

Season with salt, pour over the egg white, oil and 1 1/2

tablespoons of the cornstarch and mix well.

Cover and chill for about 30 minutes. Cut bell pepper and

scallions into bite-sized strips.

Heat peanut oil and when moderately hot drop in the calamari,

stirring to keep pieces separate. In less than a minute

they will curl and become white. Either scoop them out

or pour contents of wok through a strainer over a metal bowl.

Return wok to heat and in the film of oil that remains

stir fry garlic, ginger, bell pepper and scallions for 1 minute.

Add chilli paste and toss, then add stock and bring to

the boil. Thicken with remaining cornstarch mixed with

2 tablespoons cold water.

Stir in calamari and sesame oil, toss well and serve

immediately with steamed rice.
