Pyi gyi nga kazun ywet (squid & dandelion salad)

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 teaspoon Dried red hot chili flakes
1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Soy sauce
1 teaspoon Brown sugar
2 teaspoons Corn OR peanut oil
1 Clove garlic, chopped fine
1 pounds Fresh squids, dressed, cut into 1/2-inch round slices
¼ pounds Dandelion greens, green leaves only, halved

Directions

Watercress and Swiss chard are good substitutes for dandelion since they all have a slightly bitter but appealing taste.

1. Mix the chili flakes, lemon juice, soy sauce, and sugar together.

Let stand for 15 minutes.

2. Heat the oil in a wok or skillet and over moderate heat fry the garlic for 1 minute. Add the squid slices and stir fry for 2 minutes. Add the chili/lemon mixture and continue to fry.

3. Add the dandelion greens and cook for 2 minutes more. Do not overcook since it toughens the squid.

Serve warm with other dishes.
