Quick Wok-Fired Squid With Greens
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound squid, bodies and tentacles, cleaned and sliced into 1/2 inch rings (frozen is fine)
- 1.5 pounds greens, such as bok choy
- 2 serrano chiles, finely diced (we used 1)
- 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 3/4" piece ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 bunch basil, about 1 ounce (three large stems or 1 cup lightly packed)
- Heat a wok over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. When smoking hot, saute the greens until wilted about 5 minutes, set aside.
- Add a little more olive oil to the wok, add the serrano chiles, garlic, and ginger. Add the squid and cook about 2 minutes.
- Mix the fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime. Add the fish sauce mixture and cooked greens, toss in the basil leaves and saute until the basil is wilted.
- Serve over brown rice, or barley, which acts as a sponge to soak up the juices created during the cooking process.
