How to Make Grilled Squid
- Clean 1 pound of fresh squid thoroughly. Rub with 1 teaspoon of salt and rinse.
- Slit and flatten the squid sac lengthwise. Make diagonal cuts on the inside surface without cutting all the way through.
- Cut the squid into 1-inch bite-sized pieces.
- Set aside in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients: 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
- Mix the marinade well for 30 seconds.
- Add the squid to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to 3 hours in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your charcoal grill to medium-high heat. Grill the squid for 2-3 minutes per side, or until tender and slightly charred. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Arrange the grilled squid on a serving platter. Garnish generously with 1/2 cup chopped fresh coriander leaves.
- Serve immediately with a side of extra fish sauce dip for dipping.
