Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat a wok over high heat until metal has a matte appearance and a drop or two of water flicked onto surface evaporates on contact. Add the oil and heat until smoking; it should register 350 degrees on a deep-frying thermometer. Add half of the squid and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds. With a slotted spoon, transfer squid to a plate. Let oil return to temperature, then cook remaining squid the same way and add to plate.

  2. Step 2

    Pour off all but 2 tablespoons oil from the wok. Return wok to high heat. When oil shimmers, add garlic and jalapeños and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 seconds. Add tomatoes, stock (or ¼ cup water), wine and fish sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, until tomatoes have begun to break down and sauce has started to thicken.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in mustard greens and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes longer. Stir in squid and scallions and cook for 2 minutes more, until scallions are just softened. Taste and adjust seasoning with fish sauce. Transfer to a plate and serve immediately.

Delicious, even as I did a little bit of substituting. Really, whatever is on hand. I had a package of Trader Joe’s seafood mix (shrimp, squid, scallops) so I skipped the sautéing of the fish. I used Swiss chard for the greens. No jalapeños, so I added a generous teaspoon of chili garlic sauce. I had everything else. I simply put it all in the pot and simmered it for 30 minutes. Really wonderful, and I image it would be nice to have a fresh baked baguette with this stew.
