3 tablespoons oil

100g onions, cut into wedges

3 cloves garlic, chopped

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper

Cook it for another 2-3 minutes or until the leeks are soft and translucent. Add the salt, pepper and squid. Stir-fry it for 5 minutes or until the squid turns white. Do not overcook.
