directions

De-beak squid, separate hoods from tentacles, slice hoods into 1/4-inch hoops and tentacles into pieces approximately 3/4-inch long.

Cook the rice, using the can of coconut milk instead of water.

Roughly chop mushrooms into large slices, slice baby corn down the center lengthways, crush two cloves of garlic, roughly chop large handful of coriander leaves and de-seed and finely chop the chili.

When rice is ready, drain and add half the chopped coriander and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Heat the sesame oil in base of a wok until hot and then add the garlic, chilli and lemongrass, and a drizzle of soy sauce, stirring all the time.

After about 30 seconds, add the baby corn, followed 1 minute later by the mushrooms. Season to taste.

Stir for about another 2 minutes and then add squid and coriander. Keep stirring and as soon as squid turns opaque, take pan from heat.

Serve immediately on a bed of the rice.
