BBQ Sambal Squid

Ingredients

Vegetable oil

2 tablespoons, for brushing the grill

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Salt

1 teaspoon

Sugar

1 tablespoon

Garlic

3 cloves, minced

Lime juice

2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed

Soy sauce

2 tablespoons

Sambal sauce

1/4 cup

Squid

1 pound, cleaned and cut into rings

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sambal sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, sugar, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. Add the cleaned squid to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
3. Preheat your barbecue grill to medium-high heat, aiming for a temperature of about 400°F (200°C).
4. While the grill is heating, brush the grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
5. Once the grill is ready, place the marinated squid on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the squid is opaque and slightly charred. Avoid overcooking, as squid can become tough.
6. Remove the squid from the grill and serve immediately, garnished with fresh lime wedges and additional sambal sauce on the side for dipping.
