12 oz Squid -- up to 14 oz
1 md Green bell pepper --
- cored, seeded
3 tb Vegetable oil -- up to 4 tb
1 cl Garlic -- finely chopped
1/2 ts Fresh ginger -- finely chopped

To clean the squid, discard the head, transparent backbone and ink
bag. Peel off and discard the skin, then wash the squid and dry well.
Open up the squid and, with a sharp knife, score the inside of the
flesh in a criss-cross pattern. Cut the squid into pieces each about
the size of an oblong postage stamp. Blanch the squid in a pan of
boiling water for a few seconds. Remove and drain; dry well.
Cut the green pepper into small triangular pieces.
Heat the oil in a wok and stir fry the green pepper for about
1 minute. Add garlic, ginger, scallions, salt, and squid; continue
stirring for another minute. Finally add the black bean sauce and
wine or sherry; blend well. Sprinkle with sesame oil and serve.
