  1. MARINATE THE SQUID

    Rinse the squid to remove any residue from the packet and pat dry with paper towel. Place in a bowl with the grated ginger, lime zest, and sliced chilli (all to taste). Add 1 tsp of the sweet & sour dressing, a drizzle of olive oil, and some seasoning. Toss to coat and set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes before frying.

  2. NUTTY RICE

    Rinse the rice and place in a pot over a medium-high heat. Submerge in 250ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and set aside to steam for a further 10 minutes. Drain on completion if necessary and fluff up with a fork.

  3. CHAR THE PINEAPPLE

    Place a pan over a high heat with a drizzle of oil. When very hot, fry the pineapple chunks for 2-3 minutes until charred, shifting as they brown. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside for serving.

  4. CHILLI-GINGER SQUID

    Return the pan to a high heat with another drizzle of oil. When very hot, fry the marinated squid for 1-2 minutes until cooked through and crispy, shifting occasionally. Remove the pan from the heat and baste the squid with the remaining marinade from the bowl. Allow to rest in the pan until serving.

  5. BASMATI RICE SALAD

    When the rice is cooked, place in a bowl with the edamame beans and three-quarters of the chopped coriander. Toss together with some lime zest to taste and the juice of 1 lime wedge. Add some seasoning and the remaining sweet & sour dressing to taste, and toss until coated.

  6. TIME TO DEVOUR

    Dish up a generous mound of rice salad and cover with the charred pineapple and sliced radish. Top with the crispy squid and garnish with the remaining coriander and chilli to taste. Serve with a lime wedge on the side. Wow, Chef!
