To make delicious crispy fried squid with fish sauce, using fresh ingredients is crucial. You will need to prepare:

  • Fresh squid with eggs: choose squid with a small to medium-sized body, translucent white color, a belly full of eggs, and no strong fishy smell.
  • Garlic: mince it and sauté it until fragrant, enhancing the dish's appealing aroma.

  • Sugar: helps balance the saltiness of fish sauce.
  • Crispy batter or cornstarch: creates a crunchy coating when frying squid.

Fresh and carefully selected ingredients will help the fried squid with fish sauce achieve a full, crispy, and appealing flavor.

Steps to follow

First, the squid is gently cleaned to preserve the roe inside. Then, the squid is drained and coated with a thin layer of flour before being placed in a pan of hot oil.

Once the squid is fried until golden brown and crispy, the fish sauce is prepared with a balanced ratio of salt, sweetness, and aroma. Minced garlic is sautéed until fragrant, then the fish sauce is added and stirred gently. Finally, the fried squid is added and tossed well so that the sauce lightly coats the outside.

The finished product consists of golden-yellow squid with a crispy outer layer and a soft, sweet, and rich interior. The aroma of fish sauce combined with fried garlic creates a dish that is both simple and appealing.
