Stuffed sambal squid

Spicy Malay dish in 3 simple steps in 20 minutes.

Ingredients (serves 4):
2 large squid, cleaned but leave skin intact
150g Dodo fish paste
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, sliced
2 tbsp Foodstar Sambal Ikan Bilis paste
1 tsp lime juice
1/4 cup water

Method:
1. Stuff each squid with the fish paste and close the opening with a toothpick.
2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a grill pan and fry the stuffed squid on all sides until cooked, about 3 minutes each side. Remove and set aside.
3. To make the sauce, heat the remaining olive oil and saute the onions for 5 minutes. Add the sambal paste, lime juice and water and cook until the sauce is reduced by half. Pour the sauce over the grilled squid and serve.

Tips:
Instead of fish paste, use minced pork or chicken seasoned with salt and pepper.
