Chinese Stir-Fry with Squid and Cucumber
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
When the cucumber was in season... I often had this menu at my parent's house.
This is my mother's signature recipe.
I added a little extra to make an authentic Chinese-style? And I am working on it.
- I used cuttlefish this time, but you can also use todarodes pacificus (My mother makes it using things like octopus or shrimp.)
- When using a big cucumber with lots of seeds, scrape the seeds off with a spoon before using it.
- Make sure not to cook both squid and cucumber too much.
Add garlic if you like. For 2 to 3 servings. Recipe by rie-tin

Chinese-style Stir-Fried Squid and Broccoli
I was able to buy a ton of cheap squid fin, so, I made this dish without much thought… which, actually, turned out to be delicious.

Chinese Cucumber and Egg Stir-Fry
This is a standard Chinese home cooking recipe that I make all the time.My 2 year old son eats the cucumber only, and my 1 year old son eats the egg only. Just like nikujaga (Japanese meat and potatoes) in Japan, every family in China has a slightly different recipe for this. This one has a north-east China flavor.If you don't have any Sichuan pepper, you can substitute black pepper. But Sichuan pepper eggs are so delicious!Slice the cucumber thickly. Put a timer set to 1 minute as soon as you put the cucumber in the pan. The cucumbers taste better if they retain their crispy texture, so don't cook them for longer than a minute. For 1 plateful.

Please adjust the amount of shrimp to your liking.Devein the shrimp with a toothpick if it bothers you. For 2 servings. Recipe by Beru
