Ingredients

• Fresh squid - 300 grams

• Fish sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon
• Brown sugar - 1 tablespoon

1. Clean the squid thoroughly, removing the innards and skin, then cut into rings or leave whole.
2. In a bowl, combine the finely chopped lemongrass, minced garlic, chopped bird's eye chili, fish sauce, vegetable oil, brown sugar, lime juice, and a pinch of salt to create the marinade.
