Notes

For the best flavor, use fresh squid, and look for clear eyes and a mild ocean scent. If fresh squid isn't available, frozen squid is a good alternative; just ensure it's properly thawed. To vary the flavor, try using other sauces like teriyaki or hoisin. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days. Reheat gently in a skillet for best results. Avoid microwaving.
