Job's Tears and Squid Recipe

Ingredients:

• 6g green tea bbq seasonings
• 1 cup Job's tears (coix seed), soaked overnight and drained
• 1 pound squid, cleaned and cut into rings
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

Prepare the Job's Tears and Squid:

• Start by seasoning the squid rings with the green tea bbq seasonings, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

Cook the Job's Tears:

• In a large pot, bring the soaked Job's tears and enough water to cover them to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the Job's tears are tender, about 30-40 minutes. Drain any excess water.

Make the Stir-Fry:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until fragrant and softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Add Vegetables and Squid:

• Add the sliced red and green bell peppers to the skillet, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the peppers are slightly softened. Add the seasoned squid rings to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until the squid is cooked through and slightly crispy.

Combine and Simmer:

• Add the cooked Job's tears to the skillet with the vegetables and squid. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the flavors are well combined and the sauce has slightly thickened.

Season and Serve:

• Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper if necessary. Transfer the Job's tears and squid to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for a pop of color and freshness.
