6to 8 mushrooms - quartered
2 tbsp Garlic chopped fine
1 tbsp Ginger chopped fine

1/4 tsp pepper powder

Add brown sugar, Aji No Moto, pepper powder, vinegar and let it simmer. Add Squids and let it cook. The squids are cooked once the colour changes to an opaque white. Add the mushrooms. Add water and let it simmer. Once it comes to a boil add the cornflour mixture in a gradual stream to let the sauce thicken. Microwave the broccoli until done. Around 3 to 4 minutes. Toss the broccoli into the wok and just toss around for a few seconds until sauce has nicely coated . Serve Hot with Fried Rice or Noodles.
TIP: How To Clean Squid? Use your Kitchen sink. Hold body of squid firmly in one hand; grasp head firmly with other hand; pull head, twisting gently from side to side. Head and contents of body should come away in one piece. Cut tentacles off head; reserve. Discard head and contents of body. Grasp tip of pointed, thin clear cartilage protruding from body; pull out and discard. Rinse squid under cold running water. Peel off and discard spotted outer membrane. Pull off side fins; reserve. Rinse inside of squid bodies thoroughly under running water. Drain. Ready to use.
Cheers
