Method :
-
Remove the tentacles from the squid and
chop them into small pieces.
-
Heat half of the oil in a wok, add the
mushrooms, squid tentacles, pork, rice vermicelli, shallots, garlic,
coriander stalks, lily buds (if using), red chili, sugar, salt and
pepper.
-
Stir fry over a moderate heat until
cooked.
-
Remove from the wok and allow to cool.
-
Stuff each squid with some of the filling
- do not fill them too full or they will burst then close the tops with
wooden cocktail sticks and sew with a needle and thread.
-
Heat the remaining oil in the wok and fry
the stuffed squid fast over a high heat until opaque, just about 2-3
minutes.
-
If you cook them much longer, the squid
become rather rubbery.
-
Allow the squid to cool slightly, then cut
them into 1 inch slices and sprinkle with coriander leaves.
