Serves 2 as an Entree, 4 as an Appetiser

This is based on tasting a Thai and Lao dish comprised of squid, lime,
chili and onions though the recipe is totally made up and not authentic.

I found frozen squid rings exuded lots of liquid; fresh squid worked better.
Vietnamese rice noodles instead of rice had too similar a texture to the squid.

It comes together quickly so you'll want to do a mis en place.

1	C	Rice
4	Tbs	Oil
1	Lbs	Squid, cleaned, cut into rings and tentacles
1/2		Onion, cut into half-circle slices
2	sticks	Celery, cut into half-circle slices
6	clove	Garlic, minced
1	Tbs	Sugar
2	Tbs	Chili in Adobo sauce, minced
3	Tbs	Fish Sauce (Nam Pla)
4	Tbs	Lime Juice

Cook Rice as usual, prepare squid while it's cooking.
Heat non-stick skillet on high with oil.
Stir fry Squid for 1 minute.
Add Onion and Celery, stir fry 2 minutes more.
Add Garlic and stir fry 2 minutes more.
Add Sugar, Chili, Fish Sauce, Lime Juice and saute 1 minute
until sauce thickens a bit.
Serve with Rice.
