Ingredients

Servings 1
  • 200 g Konjac noodles (shirataki)
  • 200 g Squid
  • 100 g Fennel bulb
  • 1 Chili
  • ½ Lemon
  • 1 tsp Garlic-infused olive oil
  • 8 g Parsley (optional)

Method

  1. Score the squid bodies in a diamond across the inside face and cut them into wide bands — scored this way they curl as they hit the heat instead of buckling. Slice the fennel thinly, ring the chilli and chop the parsley.
  2. Cook the fennel in the garlic-infused oil over a medium flame for seven minutes, until it goes translucent and loses its raw aniseed edge.
  3. Raise the heat, push the fennel aside and lay the squid into the bare pan with the chilli. Ninety seconds, no more — squid is tender for a minute and then tough for twenty.
  4. In a second bare pan, drain and rinse the konjac noodles then dry-fry them four minutes until they squeak and the pan goes dry.
  5. Off the heat, fold the noodles into the pan with the lemon juice and parsley, turning once so the squid does not keep cooking.
