Yumilicious Sotong Kangkung

My dear Steemians friends, have you ever taste this famous favorite delicacy among Malaysian including me. Trust me its delicious.

Sotong Kangkung or Cuttlefish salad with Water spinach/Convolvulus is basically served with kangkung, sotong, together with rojak paste and peanuts on it. Needless to say, the secret of this delicasy is its sauce. This is because the main ingredients usually are served raw or simply blanched before they are served with the sauce.

Now, here's the recipe for this delicious delicasy.

1 bunch of kangkung (washed clean)
Sesame seeds

Fried onion to taste.

2 cloves garlic (finely pounded)

4 tablespoons shrimp crab
2 tablespoons of Hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons plum sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon thick soy sauce

1 cup water
Some flour (if needed)

COOKING METHOD:

Tips: If the cuttlefish is somehow smelly, immerse it in a water filled with lemon juice to get rid of stinky smell.
