I add fish sauce to this recipe to round out the taste. It also could use a bit more garlic.

I love squid, I love Chinese vegetables and overall Chinese cuisine. This recipe, however, was really quite boring even though I marinated the squid in rice wine and toasted sesame oil, added more garlic and used soy sauce. . Fish sauce might help. Dried red chilies might help. But I think I'll just try another recipe out of one of my Chinese cook books.
