  2. 2 Blanch the peas for 60 seconds, then soak them in ice water to preserve their vibrant green color.
  3. 3 Sauté the squid over the highest heat for exactly 60 seconds, then remove it immediately.
  4. 4 Sauté the onions and garlic for 90 seconds, then add the peas and stir for 40 seconds.
  5. 5 Add the squid back in, season with oyster sauce mixed with cornstarch, then toss the pan for 20 seconds; the total time the squid is cooked should not exceed 90 seconds.
