Ingredients

Directions

  1. Clean the squids by removing heads and ink sacs; rinse the bodies inside and out thoroughly.
  2. Sprinkle the cleaned squid bodies lightly with salt and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine ground pork, finely sliced green onions, beaten egg, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Mix the filling ingredients well until evenly combined.
  5. Stuff the squid cavities with the pork mixture, being careful not to overfill as the meat will expand during cooking.
  6. Place the stuffed squids in a steamer basket over boiling water.
  7. Cover and steam for 10-15 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through and the squid is tender.
  8. Remove the steamed squids from the steamer and drain any excess liquid; reserve the broth if desired.
  9. While the squid steams, heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  10. Add minced garlic and sauté until lightly browned and fragrant.
  11. Add chopped onion and stir-fry for about 1 minute until slightly softened.
  12. Add chopped tomatoes, bay leaf, and soy sauce to the skillet.
  13. Cook the sauce mixture for 3-5 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and the flavors have melded.
  14. Pour the hot sauce evenly over the stuffed squids in a serving dish.
  15. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
