Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp tamarind (from a pliable block)
1/4 cup warm water
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 1/2 tbsp asian fish sauce ( preferably nuoc mam)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp sugar
tabasco to taste if not drizzling sriracha sauce on salad
1 lb cleaned large squid
1/3 cup fresh basil leaves
1/3 cup fresh mint leaves, washed well and spun dry
1 cup thinly sliced red onion
sriracha sauce

Directions:

Make sauce: In a bowl stir together tamarind and warm water, mashing tamarind gently, about 4 minutes and strain through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on solids. Add remaining sauce ingredients, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
Flower-cut squid (procedure follows) or cut squid sacs crosswise into 1/2-inch ring and halve flaps crosswise. Halve large tentacles. In a large saucepan of boiling salted water cook squid 45 seconds, or just until opaque, and drain in a colander. Rinse squid under cold water to stop cooking and drain well. Add squid to sauce, tossing well. Salad may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring salad to room temperature before proceeding with recipe.
Add herbs and onion to salad and toss well. Serve salad drizzled with sriracha sauce.
To Flower-Cut Squid: Remove flaps from body sacs and reserve. Cut each body sac lengthwise along seam to form a flat piece and rinse squid well. Spread squid inner side up on a work surface. Holding a sharp knife at a 45-degree angle to work surface, score squid diagonally every 1/8 to 1/4 inch in a cross-hatch pattern. Score flaps in same manner. Cut squid into 1-inch pieces.
