INSTRUCTIONS
SAUCE
In a large mixing bowl, mix the Spam, bamboo, chestnuts, pepper, garlic,
coriander, sugar and fish sauce. Refigerate for 1/2 hour. Stuff the raw
squid with the Spam mixture, so that they are puffed and cylindrical. Place
the stuffed squid on a flat steamer or steam tray and steam for 8-10
minutes, or until squid turns opaque white. Remove from heat and set aside
while preparing the sauce. Preheat oven to 450°F. In a saucepan, melt
butter over low heat. Add the tomato sauce, stirring to blend. Stir in the
wine, black soy sauce, sugar and pepper. Bring to a boil and add one cup
water. Return to a simmer for 5-7 minutes. While the sauce is simmering,
arrange the steamed squid in a single layer in a deep casserole dish. Pour
the sauce over the squid and cover. Bake for 30 minutes, serve with steamed
rice.

A Message from our Provider:
“A cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and most fragrant flower of the Spirit, that constantly sends out its beauty and fragrance, and blesses everything within its reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most dreary places of this world. It will hold in check the demons of despair, and stifle the power of discouragement and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radiance over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and forboding imaginations.”
