Spicy Squid With Carrots

Ingredients

• 1 lb squid (sliced into rings)
• 1/2 lb carrot, shredded
• 1 tablespoon peanut oil
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic pepper sauce
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 jalapeno pepper, chopped (remove seeds for less heat, leave seeds in for more heat)
• 1 teaspoon garlic, chopped
• 1 sprig cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon italian seasoning

Directions

1. 1

   Combine fish sauce, Siracha (garlic pepper) sauce, green onions, red bell pepper, jalapeno pepper, and cilantro in a blender. Blend until well mixed, but still slightly lumpy.

2. 2

   Heat wok over high heat and add peanut oil. Heat until oil starts to smoke.

3. 3

   Add squid to wok and cook until done (about 3-4 minutes).

4. 4

   Add veggie mixture from blender, white wine, shredded carrots, and garlic to wok.

5. 5

   Cook for about ten minutes, stirring constantly.

6. 6

   Serve hot. Use the remaining liquid as a gravy for the dish, or pour it over noodles or rice (using it over noodles or rice will significantly up the calories and carbs for this dish). I prefer to leave the sauce in the wok with the rest of the dish. It helps to reheat in the microwave, as it steams to keep the squid tender.
