3. Some notes when making garlic butter fried dried squid

To make authentic garlic butter fried dried squid from the first try, don’t miss these tips:

• Soaking the squid before grilling is a crucial step that helps the squid become tender and retain its natural sweetness. Only grill lightly until the squid is fragrant, avoid overcooking which will make the squid dry and tough.
• Since the dish already contains butter, only add a small amount of oil to sauté the garlic. Using too much oil will make the dish greasy and lose its inherent richness.

• Depending on your spice tolerance, you can adjust the amount of chili and chili sauce to your taste for a more balanced and enjoyable dish.
• If you don’t eat spicy food or want to try a new flavor, you can substitute chili sauce with ketchup for a milder, easier-to-eat yet still rich and attractive flavor.
