Squid

Tamarind squid is a dish made from dried squid - a famous seafood specialty in Vietnam. Tamarind squid with chili has a very attractive flavor, combining the salty taste of dried squid and the sweet and sour taste of candied tamarind, used as a snack or eaten with rice in the main meal. Tamarind squid is processed into small bite-sized pieces from the squid tentacles, squid body, squid tail... thick with bright red tamarind soup that stimulates the taste buds.

 

First, we need to talk about the famous specialty dried squid of the central coastal provinces. Dried squid is squid that has been dried in one or more suns. Most of the dried squid brought home will be grilled whole, torn horizontally into pieces and dipped in soy sauce to eat. For many people, this is a favorite, rustic and easy-to-make drinking dish. However, the most delicious dish made from dried squid is tamarind squid, which is also a very popular dish. Anyone who has ever enjoyed squid braised in tamarind will feel that this dish has a combination of 4 flavors: salty + sour + sweet + chewy, which is very rare to find.

 

The salty taste of dried squid is neutralized by cane sugar, making the flavor of the dish suddenly become pleasant, not too salty but not too dry and sweet. In addition, the sour tamarind flavor stimulates the taste buds, making us feel delicious and not bored. All the flavors blend together in the dish, ensuring that you will remember it forever after eating it once.
