Hi Andy,
My Grand Mother is a trained chinese cook. I have done all the cources but lets keep it simple for a start, I reckon it's more fun eating than cooking! Here are the two variations that I work with, personaly I chop and change the sauces to much to add them in here, as I use Lemon, lime, sweet chilli, Mayo, what ever takes my fancy for the day.

Now score the Squid with light criss cross cuts.
Cut the scored squid into 1cm wide and 5cm long pieces. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blueboxbullet.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ink' />
