Via blogging, I have met some great friends from other parts of the world. We are more of virtual friends connected to each other on the net. I hope someday I will get a chance to meet them in person when the opportunity arises. Tina is one of my good friend I met online along the way and I was trilled when she asked me to do a guest post for her blog of pinaycookingcorner. She requested that I share a sotong/squid recipe and of course I obliged.
I seldom cook sotong, not that we don't like squids but its not one of our fav. I can't remember when was the last time I made a sotong dish and that shook me up a little. Whatever it is, I still had to come up a sotong recipe. Except for buying the sotong/squids and petai, the rest of the ingredients were already in my fridge.
Thank god all turned out well and my number only food critic at home, my half commented that the dish was great and the squids were cooked just right in texture. This recipe is a typical Malaysian style with the spicy, tangy and a mild sweet taste. I petai is not your cup of tea or you can't din them, try out with long beans or french beans.
