Critical Success Points

  • Score the squid before blanching to prevent it from becoming rubbery.
  • Blanch the squid for 20 seconds to limit excess water.
  • Do not overcook the seafood to preserve tenderness.
  • Add the Thai basil at the very end of cooking.
  • Balance the flavors (sugar, fish sauce, lemon) before serving.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle raw seafood with separate utensils to avoid cross‑contamination.
  • Very hot oil can splatter; use a partial lid if needed.
  • Use a very sharp knife and keep fingers curled when cutting the squid.
