Instruction tip
Prep tip:Patting the squid dry allows it to become a nice golden hue when cooked.
Method
Step 1 of 4
Finely grate lime zest, then juice limes. Combine zest, juice, sweet chilli sauce and garlic in a jug. Transfer half of the lime mixture to a large bowl.
Step 2 of 4
Add squid to lime mixture in a large bowl. Toss to combine. Set aside for 5 minutes to marinate.
Step 3 of 4
Meanwhile, place noodles in a large heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water. Stand for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to separate strands, or until softened. Drain, refresh under cold water. Transfer to a separate large bowl.
Step 4 of 4
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook squid, in batches, for 1-2 minutes each side or until cooked and golden-brown. Transfer to a plate. Combine noodles, squid, remaining lime mixture, coriander stems, chilli, cucumber, half of the coriander leaves and half of the onion in a large bowl. Spoon onto plates. Serve topped with remaining coriander and onion.
