Squid Rings

Squid rings are a dish made from squid (or octopus) sliced into round rings, usually deep-fried until crispy or grilled/stir-fried with lemongrass, chili, and rich, bold seasonings. This dish has a harmonious balance of salty and sweet flavors, with a fragrant hint of lemongrass and a mild to moderately spicy kick depending on how it's prepared. The squid is chewy and delightfully crunchy. It is often served as a drinking snack or eaten with rice, dipped in salt-pepper-lime sauce or chili sauce.
