SQUID AND BELL PEPPER STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Toast sesame seeds until golden. Cut onion half lengthwise into thin slices. Cut bell peppers into 1-inch pieces. Mince garlic. Peel and quarter tomatoes. Seed quarters and halve lengthwise. Cut flaps and tentacles from squid sacs. Cut sacs into 1/4-inch-thick strips and crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick rings. Halve tentacles and flaps lengthwise if large. Pat squid dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a wok or large heavy skillet over high heat until a bead of water dropped on cooking surface evaporates immediately. Add 2 tablespoons peanut oil, swirling wok or skillet to coat evenly, and heat until hot but not smoking. Add onion and stir-fry until softened. Add peppers and stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, soy sauce, and vinegar and simmer, stirring, 1 minute. Transfer mixture to a large bowl.
• Add 1 tablespoon peanut oil to wok or skillet and heat until just smoking. Stir-fry half of squid until just opaque, about 30 seconds, and transfer with juices to bowl of vegetables. Add remaining tablespoon peanut oil and stir-fry remaining squid, transferring to bowl. Return squid-vegetable mixture to wok or skillet and stir-fry until heated. Season stir-fry with salt and pepper and stir in sesame oil.

FRIED SQUID WITH RED PEPPER MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Make the mayonnaise. Tear the ancho chili into strips and soak it in half a cup of hot water for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat broiler. Cut the pepper in quarters or eighths and remove the seeds. Place the pepper strips skin side up on a broiling rack. Broil until the skin becomes charred. Place the strips in a sealed paper bag for a couple of minutes, then peel off the skin.
• Combine the chili, pepper strips, lemon juice and enough chili soaking liquid to make a smooth puree in the food processor. Blend until smooth.
• Either make the mayonnaise by hand, first beating the egg yolk with a fork, then adding the peanut and olive oils little by little and beating them in until you have a smooth emulsion. Or make the mayonnaise in a food processor. Stir in the pepper puree and correct the seasoning. Place in a small bowl.
• Heat enough peanut or vegetable oil to come about an inch up the sides of the pan. Lightly dredge the squid in seasoned flour and fry quickly, for a couple of minutes on each side, turning once and removing with a slotted spoon to drain on paper towels. Do not crowd the pan. Fry in batches, if necessary. Serve immediately with the mayonnaise on the side.
