Seafood Salad
I’m not one to pass up a bargain or special offer, so when my local supermarket had a ’special’ on seafood I couldn’t resist. I bought something I had never tried before, Squid rings. So the challenge was to make a salad including the squid rings. I did some research on cooking methods, asked a friend who had tried them before, and looked through some recipes. No one recipe really stood out, so I decided to just go with my instincts. The result was pretty tasty, so I thought I would share it with you.
The first thing I did was prepare a salad bed for the seafood. I roughly chopped some Little Gem Lettuce, mixed it with some chopped tomatoes, and chopped red onion. Pretty easy so far 
The next thing to do was cook the seafood, I had previously thawed some mussel meat I had in the freezer, I added that to some prawns and the squid rings. I left these to one side while I prepared a sauce to cook them in.
I mixed together a tablespoon of Oyster Sauce, a tablespoon of Olive Oil, a teaspoon of brown sugar, the juice from half a lime, and about 2 teaspoons of a sweet chili sauce. Once these were combined I poured the sauce into a wok and heated it until it was very hot, I then added the squid rings, mussel meat and prawns. I kept them moving in the wok making sure they were coated in the sauce, and cooked them for 2 - 3 minutes.
I then removed the seafood from the wok using a slotted spoon, so there was no excess sauce on the seafood, and placed it on the salad bed I had prepared earlier. Now if you wanted to use the left over sauce in the wok as a dressing that would be fine too, but I preferred to keep the salad bed crisp on this occasion.
Enjoy!
