Making stuffed squid is a little fussy, but the work isn’t difficult. For this Vietnamese dish, the squid bodies are cleaned, stuffed with a flavourful mixture of minced pork and mung bean noodles with spring onions, fresh coriander and fish sauce, then simmered until cooked. Then they are cut into thick rings and served with a fish sauce-based dip.
