Directions
- Make a simple syrup by combining the sugar and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Simmer. And stir until the sugar has dissolved. Allow to cool.
- In a food processor puree the jalapeno chile, garlic clove, cilantro, and ginger.
- As the food processor is running pour in the simple syrup, fish sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice. Remove.
- Remove the tentacles from the squid and cut the tubes open. Score a diamond pattern on the inside of tubes. Then cut into 2 inch pieces.
- Toss the squid with olive oil and some of the salad dressing to marinate for 5 minutes.
- If you are using a gas grill set the temperature to medium. If you are using a charcoal barbeque get the coals to the point that white ash is showing and the coals are glowing and are spread out in an even layer.
- Grill the squid for 1 minute.
- In a salad bowl combine the tomato, red onion, baby lettuce, red chili pepper with the salad dressing. Toss.
- Divide the salad onto individual salad plates and top with the grilled squid. Serve immediately.
