Treat your ingredients with care...
- Shrimp — Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery. Cook them just until they turn pink and opaque.
- Squid — To ensure tender squid, either cook it quickly over high heat or simmer it gently for a longer period of time.
- Mussels — Discard any mussels that do not open after cooking, as they may be unsafe to eat.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra kick of spice, add more sliced chilies or a dash of chili oil.
- Customize the seafood selection based on your preferences and availability.
- Serve with a side of pickled vegetables for a refreshing contrast to the spicy flavors.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, increase the amount of cornstarch mixture.
- Garnish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice for a tangy twist.
Serving advice
Serve the Taiwanese-style Seafood Pasta hot, garnished with fresh cilantro. Accompany it with a side of pickled vegetables and a wedge of lime for a burst of freshness. Enjoy it as a main course for lunch or dinner.
