Firefly Squid and Spring Vegetable Peperoncino Spaghetti
A Japanese-style peperoncino combining seasonal firefly squid with spring cabbage and new onion, with fish sauce as the secret ingredient. Carefully removing the firefly squid's eyes, beaks, and cartilage gives a pleasant texture, and the aroma of garlic and chili is layered with the umami of fish sauce.

Instructions
Prepare the firefly squid. Set out a bowl of water and use tweezers to remove the eyes, beaks, and cartilage. Remove them carefully, as any left behind will spoil the texture.
0:24~15 minSoak the garlic in water, peel it, and slice. Also prepare the dried red chili.
3:02~3 minSlice 1/4 of a new onion, and wash the spring cabbage and cut it into long pieces so it clings to the noodles.
3:26~5 minBring a pot of water to a boil, add 1 teaspoon of salt, and boil the spaghetti for 6 minutes as directed. Stir at first so it does not stick, and set aside a little of the cooking water partway through.
4:40~6 minPut 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan, add the garlic and the hand-crushed chili while the pan is still cold, and heat over low heat to draw out the aroma.
6:06~3 minAdd the spring cabbage and new onion and stir-fry until everything is coated with the oil.
6:54~3 minAdd the reserved pasta cooking water and 1 tablespoon of white wine, and season lightly with salt and pepper.
7:37~2 minAdd the fish sauce for umami and aroma.
8:15~1 minAdd the prepared firefly squid and simmer briefly to release their umami into the sauce.
8:26~2 minAdd the boiled spaghetti and toss to coat it with the sauce. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper if needed.
8:45~2 minPlate the pasta, arranging the firefly squid on top to finish.
