SPICY GRILLED SQUID AND GREEN BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Rinse squid with cold water, drain and pat dry. Transfer to a baking sheet in one layer. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon peanut oil. Season squid on both sides with salt and pepper, and season tentacles. (If they are small, thread them onto bamboo skewers.) Make sure everything is lightly coated with oil. Set aside.
• Prepare a charcoal grill, or heat a stovetop grill to medium-high. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil.
• Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons peanut oil, toasted sesame oil, lime juice and fish sauce. Stir in ginger, garlic and half the jalapeño and Fresno chiles (or less, if chiles are very hot).
• Drop beans into boiling water and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until firm tender. Drain and spread out on a baking sheet lined with a kitchen towel. Let cool to room temperature.
• Lay the squid bodies on the grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until lightly browned (bodies will puff up). Grill tentacles until firm and slightly charred, turning with tongs, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer cooked squid to a cutting board. Let cool slightly, then cut bodies crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Cut tentacles in halves or quarters, if large; otherwise leave whole.
• Place green beans and sliced squid in a large bowl. Sprinkle lightly with salt, then add the vinaigrette and toss to coat with wooden spoons. Add remaining half of the chiles, the scallions and cilantro and toss again. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. Transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with remaining chiles if desired and garnish with cilantro springs.

SPICY THAI SQUID WITH CHILES AND CILANTRO

Steps:

• Rinse squid under cool running water. Drain and transfer them to a paper towel to dry completely. Cut bodies into 1/2-inch rings and halve tentacles.
• Place a large skillet over high heat. Let pan get very hot, heating it for a good 5 minutes. Move half the squid from the paper towels to a bowl, so they don't stick when you slide them into the pan. Add 1 tablespoon oil to skillet. Season squid with salt, slide them into the pan, and cook without moving for 1 minute. Flip squid and cook 30 seconds more. Repeat with remaining squid and oil. Don't overcrowd the pan; if your skillet doesn't fit the squid comfortably, cook them in smaller batches.
• In a medium bowl, combine cooked squid with lime juice and zest, fish sauce, shallot, jalapeño and cilantro. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour (or refrigerate for up to 6 hours, then bring to room temperature before serving). Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve mounded onto cucumber rounds or scooped into shot glasses (and served with a fork), with peanuts sprinkled on top.

OJINGEO BOKKEUM (KOREAN SPICY STIR-FRIED SQUID) RECIPE - (3.4/5)

Steps:

• Clean the squid (see below). Slit the body open and flatten. Lightly score the inside in a small diamond pattern (about 1/4-inch squares). (You can skip the scoring, but it helps the squid pieces hold more sauce and gives them an interesting look.) Cut into about 1-inch wide and 2-inch long bite size pieces. (Do not make the pieces too small as they will shrink when cooked.) Cut the tentacles into the same lengths. Mix the squid with the sauce and marinate while preparing vegetables. Thinly slice the onion. Cut the zucchini and carrot in half lengthwise and thinly slice diagonally. Cut the chili peppers diagonally into 1/2-inch thick strips. Cut the scallions 2-inches long. Heat a large skillet over high heat and add the vegetable oil. Add the carrots, followed by the onions, zucchini, peppers and then the scallions. Stir fry the vegetables quickly only until they start to wilt, about 2 minutes. Push the vegetables to the sides of the skillet. Add the marinated squid and any remaining sauce to the center of the skillet. Stir fry just until the squid pieces curl up and turn opaque (about 2 minutes). Stir to mix the vegetables and the squid well for a minute. Drizzle the sesame oil over. (Do NOT overcook, or the dish will be watery and the squid tough.) Serve hot with rice. How to clean squid: Grab the body in one hand and the head in the other. Firmly pull apart with a slight twisting motion. The head and innards should easily slip out of the body. Cut the tentacles from the head just below the eyes. Remove the skin from the flesh and the beak from the center of the tentacles.
