Direction:
Many people shy away from dishes
with names like Black Bean Sauce
Squid because they think it
involves the preparation of a
complicated
sauce. In fact it is quite easy.
The black beans themselves,
fermented and salted when you
buy them, are the sauce. All you
do is
add a little rice wine to make a
paste. Then it's just like any
other stir-fry for couple of
minutes of high-heat cooking,
continuously stirring, and the
dish is done.
Prepare black bean sauce mixture
by adding to the beans: rice
wine,
soy sauce and sugar. Let sit for
15 minutes.
Saute garlic and ginger in the
oil over medium heat in a heavy
frying
pan or wok until garlic is
slightly browned. Turn up heat.
Add
squid and scallions. Stir-fry
for 30 seconds. Pour in black
bean
sauce mixture, and cook for 2
minutes. Add cornstarch and,
when
sauce thickens, remove from heat
and serve.
