> Requires frequent addition of water as it cooks.
>
> Take the beef, inexpensive cut works as well or *better* in this dish.

>
> Chop all the veggies, but dont worry about making them very small
> choppings. 'Mincing' not required. I like to be able to tell what I am
> eating.
>
> Put the ingredients in, pretty much same order as listed. If you run out
> of space, stop. If you have more space, add optional things and more
> water.
>
> Now, cook (covered) on LOW for 12 hours at minimum. Tilt the lid if it is
> more than barely bubbling.

> Categories: Xxcarol, Squid, Easy
> Yield: 4 Servings
>
> 4 ea Squid, cleaned, whole, small
> 1 c Precooked grits
> 1/2 c Kim chee, hot
> 1/4 c Chopped mushrooms
> 1 ts Black ground pepper
> 1 ts Patis
>
> In Eastern Asia, squid (also called Calimari in Europe) is often stuffed
> and then baked whole, or it may be steamed or deep fried. This recipe
> comes
> from living in Japan where whole squid is one of the least expensive
> meats
> one can get. The treatment here is a 'fusion' cooking born of me being

> of rice one day.
>
> Clean the squid (directions in many other recipes and wont repeat them
> here) then set aside. The size of the squid should be with a 2-3 inch
> long
> cavity for stuffing but bigger squid also work well.
>
> Mix the leftover cooked grits with the kim chee and mushrooms. Lightly
> pack
> the squid with this. If there is a bit leftover of the stuffing, thats
> just because you used a slightly smaller squid. Not to worry, save it
> for
> something else later.
>
> Next, sqizzle a little patis over the outside and sprinkle with the black
> pepper. It is now ready for steaming or baking. If baking,
> you may want
> to brush with olive oil before the patis and black pepper. Due to the
> conditions of Japan (electrical cost of oven use) and the kitchen
> available
> at the time of making this one, steaming was the preferred method.
>
> If you wish to deep fry this, omit the patis and black pepper. Add them
> after it comes out of the deep fryer.
>
> How hot is this? It depends on the kim chee used. I use a hot one so
> the
> grits were used to cut it to more child acceptable levels. A more
> traditional version uses leftover rice in the same proportion.
>
> Optional additions: Umm, havent added any with this version. I have
> however had the patis be replaced with mirin (rice cooking wine).
>
> Serving suggestions: This makes a very easy dish, with one squid per

> person being served, of fresh carrots to the steamer. Baby carrots look
> prettier, but chopped bigger ones will work. You will want to serve this
> as an appetizer to enter a main fancy meal, or with a soup and fresh
> fruit
> for a light lunch.
