Grilled Stuffed Calamari 'Sushi' with Black Bean Aioli
Recipe courtesy Ming Tsai

Ingredients
1 red bell pepper fine diced
2 each lapchong, fine diced (may substitute with sausage)
2 cups cooked sushi rice
1/4 cup chopped scallions
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
12 each medium sized squid tubes
Salt, to taste
1 tablespoon chile powder (Korean or ancho)
Canola oil to cook

Directions
Pre-heat a grill very hot. In a skillet coat lightly
with oil and on high heat, saute the pepper and lapchong until soft, about 4
minutes. Fold in rice and add the scallions, cilantro and oyster sauce. Season and
check. Stuff the squid tubes using a pastry bag or plastic bag with the tip cut
off. Oil the grill and season the tubes with salt and chile. Mark the tubes, and
roll them around so that all sides cook evenly, about 5 minutes total. Be careful
not to overcook the squid as it will get tough. Let rest 1 minute then slice into
one inch pieces, like sushi.
