Ingredients

1 1/2 lb backbone removed
3 tbsp. cooking oil
3 cloves garlic minced
1 pieces siling labuyo, minced
3 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tbsp. brown sugar
3 tbsp. tomato ketchup

Cooking Instructions

1. Drain squid for about 15 -20 minutes.  Slice each squid into three to four pieces to produce squid rings.

2. Heat oil in cooking pan or wok then add in the garlic and pepper. Saute for about two minutes while constantly tossing.

3. Add in the sugar and the soy sauce and stir mixture for 2 minutes. Add in squid and let cook for about 10-15 minutes, until the squid is tender. Stir occasionally. At this stage, squid will produce more water.

4. Once the squid is tender, add in ketchup and stir until the ketchup is evenly distributed.
