Black Pepper Squid

Hi guys!
It's been a while since my last post.  Our town had been hits by tornado and we had power blackout all over town... So, it's suck big time.
The light just came back on this afternoon, and we've gotta eat, right?  Here we come.


Ingredients:
Serving: 2-3
Prep: 5-7 minutes
Cook: 10 minutes

2 large squid - cleaned and cut the squid into thin bite size strips (about 1/3 inch thick and 3-4 inches long)

Green shallots - 3tbsp, cut into 2 inches long

Black pepper - 3/4 tsp
Oyster sauce - 1 tsp
Sugar - 1tsp
Chicken powder base - 1/2 to 1cube

Water - 3/4tbsp (as needed)
Garlic - 1tbsp, chopped
Oil - 2-3tbsp


Directions:

Browned garlic in a medium skillet over medium high heat.  Add cut squid and stir a few times before adding: oyster sauce, black pepper, sugar and chicken powder.
Stir occasionally and lower the heat to medium, let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes till the squid fully cook (or until the water that came out from the squid starting to dry up).  If you'd like your stir fry to be a little watery, do add water, if not just leave as is.  Bring to your taste and add green shallots.
Remove to serving plate and serve with warm steam rice.
