instructions
    1

    Start by preparing your ingredients. Mince the garlic and ginger. Slice the bell pepper and carrot into thin strips. Chop the green onion into small pieces.

    2

    In a small bowl, mix the shrimp and squid with the cornstarch and a pinch of salt. This will add texture and help the seafood hold onto the sauce later.

    3

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat for about 1 minute. Once hot, add the garlic and ginger, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

    4

    Add the shrimp and squid to the skillet. Stir-fry them for about 3-4 minutes until they turn opaque and are cooked through.

    5

    Now, toss in the sliced bell pepper and carrot. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

    6

    Pour in the soy sauce and give everything a good toss to evenly coat all the ingredients. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes while stirring to combine the flavors.

    7

    Taste your dish and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

    8

    Lastly, sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top and stir to combine before removing it from the heat.
