A quick weeknight stir-fry that transforms simple ingredients into something special. The key is having all your components ready before the wok heats up.
Clean the squid and slice into thin strips about 5cm long. Cut the fish balls into irregular bite-sized pieces. Dice the onion into small chunks. Use a vegetable peeler or knife to carve the carrot into small flower shapes or thin diagonal slices.
Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil. Drop in the squid strips and cook for about 30 seconds until they turn opaque white. Remove and drain. Add the fish ball pieces and blanch for 2 minutes until slightly puffed. Set both aside.
Heat oil in a wok over high heat until shimmering. Add the minced garlic and cook for 10 seconds until fragrant. Toss in the onion and carrot, stir-frying for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
Add the blanched squid and fish balls to the wok. Pour in the soy sauce and oyster sauce, then season with salt and white pepper. Toss everything together over high heat for 2 minutes until well coated and heated through.
Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy hot over steamed rice.
