Ingredients




1 bunch fresh asparagus, sliced into 2 inch length
1/4 carrot, sliced thinly
6 small squids (clean and cut into bite size)
3 cloves garlic, chopped coarsely
1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce (Nam Pla) (to your taste)
1 teaspoon sugar
3 tablespoons of water
2 tablespoons cooking oil

Preparation

1 Heat 2 tbsp oil and sauté chopped garlic until fragrant. 2 Add in asparagus, stir fry a while then add in carrot and stir well. 3 Add in fish sauce, sugar and a little water if it becomes too dry. 4 Now add in squid, stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes, or until squid curls up. Don't overcook squid, as it will become rubbery. 5 Test for taste, adding more fish sauce if not salty enough. But if too salty for your taste, add a little more sugar. Dish up and serve immediately.

About


Instead of normal Chinese stir-frying with oyster sauce, let switch to Thai style using Nam Pla (fish sauce) for a change. This is a simple and easy dish that can be ready in a flash
