Squid stewed in sour cream is a delicate and aromatic dish of Pan-Asian cuisine that combines the sea flavor of squid with a rich creamy texture. The tradition of preparing squid with sour cream has its roots in culinary experiments from East Asia, where seafood is paired with soft sauces to highlight their natural freshness. The light acidity of the sour cream harmoniously complements the sweet taste of the squid, while vegetables sautéed to golden caramel add depth and richness. This dish is versatile: it can be served as a standalone hot dish with rice or noodles or used as a filling for appetizing rolls. When cooked properly, the squid remains soft and tender without losing its firm texture, making each bite delightful.
