         Title: Stir-Fried Squid w/Peanuts & Chilies   
    Categories: Oriental, Chilies, Seafood, Nuts   
         Yield: 4 Servings   
       
         1 lb Squid; cleaned Chinese-style   
              - [See below. - S.C.]   
       1/4 c  Raw peanuts; rough chopped   
         4 cl Garlic; minced   
         1    (or more) fresh chilies;   
              - chopped   
         1 ts Cilantro; chopped (opt)   
         2 ts Soy sauce   
       1/4 c  Chicken stock   
         1 ts Cornstarch dissolved in   
         1 tb Stock or water   
         3 tb (to 4 tb) vegetable oil   
       
     In traditional Chinese cooking, dishes which are part   
     of a banquet-style meal usually contain about 1 pound   
     of food. This dish will serve 4 if there are 3 other   
     dishes besides soup; 6 if there are 6 other dishes, etc.   
        
     Saute garlic and chile peppers in half the oil over low   
     heat in a wok or heavy frying pan until garlic is lightly   
     browned. Add peanuts for the last 30 seconds. Stir   
     continuously.   
        
     Remove ingredients from the pan, add more oil, if   
     necessary, and the squid. Cook for 30 seconds. Return   
     peanuts, garlic and chiles to pan. Immediately add all   
     but 1 Tb of the stock, soy sauce and cilantro.   
        
     Continue stir-frying for another minute. Add cornstarch   
     mixture. When sauce thickens, remove from heat and serve.   
        
     [Score squid diagonally at three quarter inch intervals.   
     Turn and repeat at right angles to original cuts. Don't   
     cut all the way through the squid body. Cut each scored   
     squid body into three or four pieces.   
        
     When cooked, the squid will roll up & the crosshatching   
     will catch and hold the sauce. It's much easier to do   
     than to describe. S.C.]
