Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 stalks green onions minced
- 1 ginger 2 inch piece, minced
- 4 tbsp fish sauce
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 18 squid tubes
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
- Combine ground pork, garlic, green onions, ginger, and fish sauce in a medium sized bowl. Use your hands to mix all the ingredients together. Set aside once well mixed.
- Stuff squid tubes with pork mixture. Leave 1/2 inch of room at the top.
- Weave a toothpick through the top of each squid tube to keep the mixture in while it's cooking.
- Place the squid on a baking sheet. Brush with the vegetable oil.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes. The stuffed squid is done when the ground pork is a brown color. I usually cut it open to make sure it's cooked.
