    It's good but it lacks in depth of flavor. Something was missing. I tried to improve its flavor by adding more teriyaki sauce but still it didn't work. It only improved when I added some red grape pomegranate juice and simmered it longer.

    This was fantastic! I have never cooked squid before and have only eaten it fried or in Thai soup. I was convinced by the reviews to try it and I am so glad I did. Absolutely wonderful thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

    Excellent recipe! To create a sweeter flavor use teriyaki sauce in place of the soy sauce and a mango/peach salsa in place of the tomato and onions.

    Well done! A nice Filipino dish. We use a bay leaf as well and don't overcook or the squid will be chewy!
