AUTHENTIC SPICY THAI SQUID SALAD RECIPE - YAM PLA-MUEK



Authentic Spicy Thai Squid Salad Recipe - Yam Pla-Muek image

Deliciously easy Thai spicy squid salad recipe that combines the flavor of sweet, spicy, bitter, and savory into one dish.

Provided by Lane

Categories     Side Dishes

Time 26m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 squids
1/2 yellow bell pepper, sliced and chilled
1/2 red bell pepper, sliced and chilled
1 sweet white onion, sliced
3 pickled garlic bulbs, sliced
3 Thai chilies, chopped
1/3 cup of pac peow, chopped
1/3 cup of cilantro, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon of palm sugar
1 tablespoon of toasted rice powder
2 tablespoons of fish sauce
2 tablespoons of lime juice
2 tablespoons of reserved pickled garlic juice
2 tablespoon of roasted peanuts, crushed

Steps:

  • Prepare the bell peppers and onions by slicing thinly. Add the bell peppers to an ice cold water bath while preparing other ingredients.
  • Slice the pickled garlic cloves and set aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the pickled garlic juice that was part of the jar.
  • Chop up the chilies, pac peow, cilantro, and green onions. Set aside.
  • Score both squids by making narrow slices through the squid lengthways, careful not to cut all the way through. Turn the squid and score again to make small diamond shapes. This will allow the strips to curl up with a beautiful presentation.
  • Cut the scored squid into bite size pieces, about 1 inch in length.
  • Next, you'll want to blanch the squid. Put the squid in a heat safe bowl. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Ladle in the hot water from the pot to the heat safe bowl, and allow the squid to be blanched for about 30 seconds. Drain the squid, and repeat this process 2-3 times until the squid is cooked through. This method allows you to not overcook the squid. Overcooking the squid will turn it rubbery.
  • Once the squid is cooked, add in the palm sugar, toasted rice powder, fish sauce, reserved pickled garlic juice, and lime juice. Stir it up.
  • Add in the drained bell peppers, onion, and the rest of the herbs along with the crushed peanuts.
  • For presentation, you can place the salad on a dish and surround with lots of green vegetables and herbs, adding the Thai chiles on top for a beautiful presentation of the dish.

3 fresh bay leaves
The whole peel and juice of 1 lemon

CHILLI & LIME SQUID SALAD



Chilli & lime squid salad image

James Martin's sensational starter is sure to impress dinner party guests - marinate the squid overnight, then sear just before serving over avocado and rocket

Provided by James Martin

Categories     Starter

Time 18m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 red chillies , halved, deseeded and finely diced
2 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil , plus extra to serve
2 whole squid tubes about 400g/14oz, cleaned and prepared (see tip)
2 large ripe avocados , stoned, peeled and sliced
100g rocket
3 limes , halved
3 tbsp crispy onions (I used Fresh Gourmet crispy onions)

Steps:

  • Mix two-thirds of the chillies and the garlic-infused oil in a large bowl and add the squid. Cover with cling film and leave them to marinate for at least 1 hr or overnight in the fridge.
  • Just before serving, heat the barbecue or a griddle pan. Combine the avocado slices with the rocket. Divide between 6 small plates or bowls.
  • When the barbecue is hot or your griddle pan almost smoking, add the limes, cut-side down. Tip on the squid, pressing lightly with the back of a fish slice to create charred lines. When the squid feels slightly firm, about 1 min 30 secs into cooking, turn over and press down with the fish slice again, cooking for another 1 min 30 secs or until the squid feels firm. Remove and place on a board.
  • Slice the squid into 1-2cm rings and top each salad with a few rings and some crispy onions. Serve half a charred lime on the side for squeezing over, with the remaining chilli scattered over and a drizzle of garlic oil.

Tips:

  • Prep the Squid Properly: Clean and remove the ink sac, beak, and eyes from the squid before cooking. If using frozen squid, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Tenderize the Squid: To make the squid tender, boil it for a few minutes in salted water or milk before using it in the salad.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. Use ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and fresh herbs.
  • Chop the Vegetables Evenly: This will help the salad look more uniform and appealing.
  • Don't Overdress the Salad: Use just enough dressing to coat the salad ingredients. Overdressing can make the salad soggy.

Conclusion:

Squid salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its combination of tender squid, crisp vegetables, and tangy dressing, squid salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is sure to please everyone at your table.
