Before delving into the method of making delicious and crispy squid stir-fried with onions, let me share with you the fantastic benefits of squid and some tips for selecting squid tubes!
Fantastic Benefits of Squid.
Squid is a food rich in protein and essential minerals such as Riboflavin, Vitamin B12, phosphorus, copper, and selenium. It contains low saturated fat and sodium. Therefore, squid helps detoxify the liver, fights fatigue, regulates blood pressure, and protects nerve cells. Eating squid regularly can also prevent aging.
Tips for Selecting Squid Tubes.
When selecting squid tubes, opt for those with bright pinkish meat, tightly adhering oil to the body, and intact squid ink sacs. Generally, squid that is less fresh appears slightly greenish, has flabby flesh, the head is not firmly attached to the body, and emits a strong fishy odor.

Step 1: Prepare the ingredients.
- After purchasing squid tubes, remove the ink sac and beak, rinse with clean water, then lightly marinate with white wine to remove the fishy smell. Rinse again with water and drain.
- Keeping the skin on the squid tubes will result in a crispier and tastier stir-fry, cut them into pieces about the size of a fingertip.
- Marinate the squid with 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon black pepper; 1 teaspoon sugar; 1 teaspoon seasoning powder; 1 teaspoon chopped chili and 1 tablespoon minced garlic, mix well, and marinate for about 5 minutes.
