Squid, also known as calamari and soft fish, has high nutritional value. It is rich in protein, calcium, taurine, phosphorus, vitamin B1 and other nutrients required by the human body, and the content is extremely high, and the fat content is extremely low . Traditional Chinese medicine believes that squid has the functions of nourishing yin and stomach, nourishing deficiency and moisturizing skin.

Modern medicine has discovered through research that although the cholesterol content in squid is high, squid also contains a substance-taurine, and taurine has the effect of inhibiting the accumulation of cholesterol in the blood. As long as the ratio of taurine to cholesterol in the food ingested is above 2, the cholesterol in the blood will not increase. The taurine content in squid is higher, and its ratio is 2.2. Therefore, when eating squid, cholesterol is only normally used by the human body and will not accumulate in the blood. And the highest cholesterol part of squid is the internal organs, and it happens to be the part we don't eat, so don't give up its nutrition and deliciousness because of worrying about the cholesterol of squid.

Ingredients

1 piece Squid
1/2 Onion

2. Cut into three pieces longitudinally along the direction of the spine. Lay one of them horizontally, use the knife to cut the flower knife in the direction of the upper left and lower right, inclined 145°. Note that the bottom should be cut through without cutting off, and the spacing of each strip should be as consistent as possible

3. Rotate the cut squid 90° to the left, still according to the angle of the upper left and lower right, cut the flower knife

4. After cutting, divide it into several pieces

5. Put it in 70-80°C hot water and blanch it quickly. When you see the squid slightly rolled up, immediately remove it and drain the water. Cut the onion, scallion and carrot

6. Heat oil in a pan, sauté the chopped green onions, carrots, and saute the onions slightly until softened

7. Pour in the squid, add salt, cooking wine, light soy sauce and cumin powder, quickly stir and get out of the pot.

Squid can also be fried with Korean spicy sauce, which is also delicious. However, children who are vegetarian can also eat it, and onions can replenish calcium. The soft-fried onions have a slightly sweet taste, and children love it too.
