Love this dish. Refreshing, good balance of sour, spicy with the nice crunch from cucumbers and all. And Easy!

The same sauce, I used it on another dish on chilled tofu and is also just as good.

Do not overcook the squid, it will turn all rubbery.

Ingredients Serves 2

2 Squids, cleaned
1 ½ Tbsp soy sauce
1 ½ Tbsp lime juice

1 Tbsp finely chopped lemongrass
3 sprigs cilantro, chopped
3 mint leaves, chopped (optional)
