Carolyn Robertson

Ingredients

1 kg	Squid tubes, cleaned and halved (Main)
1 serving	Vegetable oil
1 to serve	Soy sauce

Marinade

¼ cup	Fish sauce
3 Tbsp	Honey
3 cloves	Garlic, crushed
2 small	Red chillies, deseeded and finely chopped

Directions

1. Place fish sauce, honey, garlic and chilli in a bowl and whisk to combine.
2. Score squid with the tip of a sharp knife making a tight-knit criss-cross pattern on the inner side of each piece.
3. Place in a non-metallic dish, pour marinade over squid, cover and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
4. Heat a wok or frying pan over a medium-high heat and stir-fry squid in several batches for 2-4 minutes.
5. The honey will cause the squid to caramelise and can catch and burn, so keep it moving.
6. Serve with extra soy sauce on the side.
