做法
- 把墨鱼或鱿鱼擦得彻底干燥。拌入盐和玉米淀粉。淀粉裹住肉圈,能让酱汁更好地挂住。
- 宽口炒锅大火烧热油。鱿鱼平铺一层下锅,不动地煎 90 秒。
- 加入咖喱叶,会发出『噼啪』。再翻炒鱿鱼 30 秒。用漏勺把所有材料捞出(鱿鱼极易过老)。
- 原锅留底油,下蒜末、姜丝和青辣椒,煸 30 秒。
- 下洋葱、两种甜椒和番茄瓣。猛火翻炒 90 秒——蔬菜表面应略上色但仍保持脆度。
- 把番茄沙司、辣椒酱、酱油、伍斯特郡酱、糖和 2 大勺水在小碗中搅匀。倒入炒锅,把鱿鱼回锅翻炒 60 秒——每一片都应被红亮酱汁包裹。立刻装盘。可作为斯里兰卡宴会拼盘的一员,或单上配米饭。

文化背景
Devilled cuttlefish 是斯里兰卡『魔鬼系列』的一员——还有魔鬼鸡、魔鬼虾、魔鬼牛,都是 1970—1980 年代科伦坡的斯里兰卡—中式餐馆把英式『devilled』(辣味)风味嫁接到东南亚式酸辣甜炒法上的产物。这些菜在派对和婚宴上一炮而红,如今已成了寻常家庭菜。颜色鲜红橙,正是番茄沙司、辣椒酱与番茄合力的视觉招牌;口感酱汁润、蔬菜脆。
