Instructions
-
Begin by preparing the squid. Remove any inedible portions and wash it thoroughly under cold water.

-
Score the flesh of the squid in a fish-scale pattern. This will help the flavors penetrate better during cooking.

Cut the squid into pieces, approximately one inch wide and two inches long, ensuring they are of uniform size for even cooking.

In a pot of boiling water, immerse the prepared squid and cook until tender. This should take just a few minutes. Once done, drain the squid and set aside.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the fish sauce and lime juice to create the base of the sauce.
-
Add in the finely chopped lemongrass, shallots, kaffir lime leaf, and hot chili powder. These ingredients will infuse the sauce with their aromatic flavors.
-
Gently stir the ingredients together, taking care not to bruise the herbs or break apart the squid.
-
Add the cooked squid to the sauce mixture, ensuring it is coated evenly.
-
Transfer the squid and sauce to a serving plate, arranging it attractively.

Garnish with additional lime wedges or fresh herbs if desired.
