I'm planning to make stir-fried squid.

So convenient for homemade malatang! I used this squid for homemade malatang and loved how convenient it was. It’s already cleaned, cut, and scored, so I could just add it to the pot with vegetables and mushrooms. The pieces cooked quickly and had a nice chewy texture. A bag also goes a long way since you can take out only what you need and keep the rest frozen. I’d buy this again for malatang, hot pot, or seafood stir-fries!
