Ingredients:
- 4 small squid, cleaned
- 1 tablespoon roasted chili paste
- 1 teaspoon sunflower oil
- 1 teaspoon chopped ginger
- 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons sunflower oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 cucumber
- 1 medium pepper, deseeded and sliced lengthwise
- 4 spring onions
- 1 red Thai chili
- 3 cups mixed salad leaves
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- Sesame seeds
Instructions:
- Heat up a grill until it reaches high temperature.
- Make cuts in the squid on a cutting board. Transfer it to a bowl with the pre-made roasted chili paste and oil. Stir thoroughly. Place the squid on a grill pan or barbecue and cook for a few minutes on each side until it turns golden brown. Take care not to cook it for too long, or the squid will become tough.
- While the squid is cooking, crush the ginger and garlic together using a mortar and pestle. Mix in the honey, lime juice, and fish sauce until well combined. Gradually whisk in the sunflower and sesame oil.
- Dice the cucumber, bell pepper, spring onions, and chili peppers. Put them in a bowl along with assorted salad greens, mint, and coriander.
- Cut the grilled squid into thin slices and add them to the salad bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
