How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to Choose Fresh Squid
- Fresh squid will have a shiny color. The brown part on the back will be dark brown, while the squid’s body will be opaque white like milk.
- When you touch the squid’s body, you will feel the squid’s flesh is firm and has high elasticity. When you press your finger into the squid’s body, it will quickly return to its original state without leaving a dent.
- Do not choose squid with eyes that have turned cloudy, sometimes with fluid leaking out, as this indicates the squid is not fresh.
How to choose fresh and delicious celery
- You should choose celery with bright green leaves, white tender stems, and both the stems and leaves should be thick, with round and even stems.
- Avoid selecting celery with pure white stems that are unusually swollen, as this celery has been over-fertilized.
- You should also not choose celery that has a yellowish tint, with soft and wilting leaves and stems, as this indicates that the celery has been harvested for a long time and is no longer fresh.

Prepare the ingredients
Clean the squid you bought, remove the ink sac, eyes, teeth, and internal organs, then rinse with diluted salt water for 1 minute to completely clean the head and intestines of the squid.
After that, rinse the squid with clean water and let it dry. Next, tilt the knife to score a crosshatch pattern on the squid and cut it into bite-sized pieces, cutting the squid tentacles in half.
Tip: To clean the squid properly and quickly, pull the head out of the body, cut off the eyes, clean the intestines, and peel off the skin, then rinse with clean water.

Make stir-fried squid with celery
You place a pan on the stove and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil to the pan. When the oil is hot, add the squid and stir-fry for about 3 minutes until the squid is slightly cooked, then add 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, and stir well.
After that, add the celery and stir-fry together, stirring evenly for 5 minutes so that the squid absorbs the seasoning and the celery is cooked.
Finally, taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking, then turn off the stove.
