Method

Ingredients

In a saucepan over a medium heat, combine the peanut butter, ginger, chilli and 200 g coconut milk. Add the treacle sugar and remaining coconut milk, a little at a time, stirring continuously until slightly thickened. Add the coriander.
Using a sharp knife, cut a crisscross pattern over the calamari steaks.
Pan-fry in the hot olive oil for 2 to 3 minutes a side, or until golden and tender.
Serve with the warm coconut-and-peanut sauce and top with the sugar-snap peas. Season to taste.
