O i miss this sotong dish so much since I was sitting for my O levels in Alor Star, ie 33 years ago. I thought I can never find this receipe ever again if not for RM. Now that I’m in Singapore after returning from Melbourne, Australia, there’s no Indian restaurant in Singapore that can cook up this dish. Nostalgic!

Isidora – No worries about the ginger, you can skip them and the recipe will work just fine. :)

The recipe looks just incredible, and I’m pretty sure that I can get all the ingredients locally (if not, there is a huge international grocery in Cincy), but there is one slight snag. I am nursing an infant who is allergic to ginger, and therefore I cannot consume any. How badly do you think it would affect the flavor of the dish to simply omit the ginger entirely? Would it totally mess up the flavor, or would it still be worth making?

Thanks so much for posting the recipe.

Mae,

Sambal Oelek works the best. Good luck and let me know how it goes.

The only sambal i can find here [it is Jersey afterall and i'm lucky enough to get hold of three different types :)] are the two that i’ve mentioned.

I can’t wait to try the recipe. Please tell me which one is better out of the three; sambal oelek, sambal nasi goreng or sambal manis?

Chubbypanda,

Yes, clean the eyes, and also remove the outer membrane. You want to leave the innards part in because they are the essence (some of them contain eggs of the squid) which are super delicious.

When you say “cleaned”, do you mean just the eyes? ‘Cause usually I gut them, and remove the purple outer membrane. Or are innards part of the dish?
