How to Make Sotong Kunyit Stir Fry (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Sotong Kunyit Stir Fry is a classic Malaysian lunch dish that beautifully showcases the multicultural essence of Malaysian cuisine. Drawing from the vibrant flavors of local ingredients such as kunyit (turmeric), serai (lemongrass), and cili merah, this stir fry is both aromatic and visually striking. Traditionally enjoyed across Malaysia, Sotong Kunyit is celebrated for its simplicity and the fresh taste of the sea, making it a favorite in many households. What makes Sotong Kunyit Stir Fry unique is its delicate balance of flavors—earthy kunyit blends seamlessly with the sweetness of fresh sotong (squid) and the subtle heat of bird’s eye chilies. The use of pandan leaves infuses the dish with a gentle floral aroma, while extra-virgin olive oil keeps it light and heart-healthy. This vegetarian adaptation uses tender oyster mushrooms as a substitute for sotong, ensuring the dish remains high in protein and fiber, suitable for vegetarians while staying true to its roots. Enjoyed with a bowl of steaming hot rice, this dish brings a taste of Malaysia’s bustling markets and home kitchens right to your table.
