Asian squid

Profile#

I enjoyed this squid while traveling to Taiwan some weeks ago. That was on the night market in Kenting, in the very south of Taiwan:

They are fantastic and easy to be prepared. The sauce is a trial to redo it. Maybe someone correct it in the comments. In such case: thank you very much.
Of course the squid is from Antonio:

The different sauces are from the Asia shop in Olching:
