作法
- 將泡軟乾辣椒、紅蔥頭、蒜頭、南薑、香茅與馬來蝦醬打成滑順糊。
- 炒鍋或寬鍋中火熱油。煎香料糊8分鐘並頻繁攪拌至顏色變深、油浮現。廚房應香氣濃郁。
- 加棕櫚糖、羅望子、鹽與水。燉4分鐘——醬汁變濃稠光亮深紅褐參巴附湯匙。
- 轉大火。一次下墨魚圈與觸鬚。大力翻炒90秒——墨魚過熟會迅速變硬。
- 加黃洋蔥片與新鮮辣椒。翻拌30秒——洋蔥應仍有口感、辣椒增添視覺亮點。
- 離火試味調整。參巴應裹住每圈墨魚；底部不應有積汁。立即盛盤。配白飯與如蝦醬炒蕹菜等綠葉菜。

文化背景
參巴炒墨魚為馬來日常家常菜——sotong（墨魚）便宜、馬來西亞水域盛產，只要不過熟就很好做。這道菜體現馬來參巴炒法：先慢慢做出風味濃郁的參巴，最後加入蛋白質快炒。棕櫚糖羅望子的平衡是馬來招牌，與更辣的蘇門答臘或印尼版有所區別。家庭餐桌常見搭配：參巴炒墨魚、綠葉炒菜與湯類——三種口感的完整一餐。
