Black pepper and coriander is a great combination and very popular around south-east Asia. If you don't have a mortar and pestle, just use ground pepper and chop everything else up with a knife.

Ingredients

  • 300g squid tubes

  • 2 whole coriander stalks, roots, stems and leaves

  • 2 tsp whole black peppercorns

  • 1cm ginger, peeled

  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce

  • 1 tbsp fish sauce

  • 1 tbsp kecap manis

  • 5 medium spring onions, finely shredded

  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with ¼ cup cold water

Method

  1. 1. Score the squid tubes in a cross-hatch pattern and cut them into 5cm pieces. Combine the coriander roots and stalks (reserving the leaves), black peppercorns, ginger and garlic in a mortar and pound to a coarse paste. 

    2. Heat your wok over high heat and add the oil. Add the paste and the squid and toss to coat. Add the three sauces and spring onions and toss for a minute or two until fragrant and the squid is cooked through. Add as much of the cornstarch mixture as needed to thicken any liquid in the wok, then serve with the coriander leaves.
