Squids in fermented bean sauce

I bought some squids over the weekends and was not too sure what to do with it. While watching a food program on the television, a thought occurred to me. Why not fried the squids in fermented bean sauce? I made my own sauce by frying some fermented bean paste or taucu as the Malays fondly called it with pounded red onions, garlic and some chilies. After seasoning it with some sugar and ketchup, the dish is ready to be served. The sauce is not too overpowering and coupled with steaming rice, the simple dish make a statement on its own. I’d definitely cook it again in the future.
