Ingredients

  1. 500g pineapple-cut squid (defrosted)
  2. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  3. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  4. 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  5. 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  6. 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  7. 1 tablespoon vinegar (white or rice vinegar)
  8. 1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)
  9. 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
  10. Fresh coriander, chopped (for garnish)
  11. 1 small red chili, sliced (for garnish)

Method

  1. In a bowl, combine the garlic powder, black pepper, paprika, soy sauce, sesame oil, and vinegar. Stir to create a marinade.
  2. Add the pineapple cut squid to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated squid and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the squid turns golden and slightly crispy on the edges.
  4. Drizzle the lemon juice (if using) over the squid and stir for 1 more minute to combine the flavours.
  5. Transfer the squid to a serving dish and garnish with chopped coriander and sliced red chili. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip

For perfectly cooked pineapple-cut squid, use high heat and cook it quickly so the scored surface caramelises lightly while the inside stays tender and juicy. The pineapple cut pattern helps the squid absorb the marinade and creates extra crispy edges during cooking, giving the dish more texture and flavour. The balance of soy, sesame, and vinegar delivers a savoury tang that complements the natural sweetness of the squid beautifully. Serve immediately while the squid is hot and lightly crisp around the edges for the best result.
