Cooking StepsHow to cook Spicy Stir-fried Squid step by step

Step 1 Detail

Soak the dried squid for 2 hours, remove the bone, clean thoroughly, and cut into thin strips.

Place the squid strips in cold water, bring to a boil, then rinse twice and drain well.
Step 3 Detail

Slice the chilies, ginger, and garlic; set aside.
Step 4 Detail

Heat oil in a wok and add the julienned ginger.
Step 5 Detail

Add the squid and stir-fry until fragrant, about 2–3 minutes, then remove and set aside.
Step 6 Detail

In the remaining oil, stir-fry the garlic, chilies, doubanjiang, chili powder, and whole cumin seeds until everything is fragrant.
Step 7 Detail

Return the squid to the wok and toss to combine. Season with light soy sauce, steamed fish soy sauce, and chicken bouillon powder.
Step 8 Detail

Stir-fry for another 2–3 minutes until the seasonings are well absorbed. Transfer to a plate, top with scallions and a drizzle of sesame oil. For a numbing kick, add a few drops of mountain pepper oil.

Incredibly aromatic and spicy — way better than takeout. Cut the squid thinner for more flavor. This dish disappears the moment it hits the table!
