Get your wok ripping hot and add the Neutral Oil — it should shimmer instantly.

Add the squid and stir-fry hard, keeping everything moving until just cooked through.

Throw in the bell pepper and spring onions, then splash in the soy sauce around the edge of the wok.

Chef's tip
Taste and adjust the salt at the end; sauces concentrate as they reduce.
