    This is possibly the most appropriate (and tasty) dish to eat whilst watching Squid Game. Full of umami, spicy chilli flavour and great as finger food – Salt and Chilli Squid. Enjoy!

    First time coming across your channel. This is one of my favorite apps I get while out or snack I make at home often.
    Observations: That wasn't a half an onion, your knife skills are pretty scary (please don't cut yourself), and the rest is pretty much different. Cool thing about cooking is everyone is different. You enjoyed it and that is all that matters. Cheers.
