Squid Sambal




Squid sambal or squid cooked in spicy chilly paste os one of my favourite side dish to serve along white rice or fried noodles. Seafood cleaning is my youngest daughter's task after we have done with marketing. Evetytime, i fetched seafood from freezer, it will be throughly cleaned and ready to cook. Life is indeed very much easier with helping hands. The girls are fond of sambal too and prefer to have it with their rice. You may adjust the amount of chilly according to your heat tolerance. De-seed is one of the best way to reduce the heat from the chilly.
