2How to prepare tamarind squid in Da Nang
If unfortunately you have arrived home but you cannot forget the taste of Da Nang tamarind-roasted squid, then don’t hesitate and go straight to the kitchen to make this wonderfully delicious dish.
Process materials:
– Use charcoal to lightly grill the dried squid. When the ink has turned milky white and gives off a fragrant scent, it’s done. Do not roast until golden brown or overcooked because when mixed with spices, the sweetness will be lost.
– Get tamarind juice by soaking dried tamarind in water to loosen it. Then squeeze the tamarind on the filter to get the essence.
– For milk squid, leave it whole and for large squid, tear it into bite-sized pieces.
– Prepare minced onions, garlic, and lemongrass.
Processing rim tamarind squid:
Step 1: Put the pan on the stove, add fat and heat, then sauté onion, garlic, and minced lemongrass. Next, add shredded dried squid and stir well until the spices are absorbed into the squid. After frying, pour into a plate and prepare to prepare the tamarind sauce.
Step 2: Use a clean pan to add some dried onions with cooking oil. Then add tamarind juice, season with sugar, a little salt and chili (chili can be minced chili or chili powder). When the tamarind sauce thickens and tastes moderately sweet and sour, add all the previously prepared squid and stir well.
Step 3: Continue to simmer until the squid water and tamarind juice thicken and stick together.
The finished squid has a red color like cockroach wings, the squid is soft and chewy enough. The squid is not too salty or too sweet, but the two flavors blend together. This combination is truly wonderful, making the dish more delicious. You don’t feel bored when you eat it, but the more you eat it, the more addicted you become.
