- 2 Tbsp sugar or 1/4 cup 7-up
- peppercorns, cracked
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil or melted butter

Directions
- •Clean the squid by removing the internal organs and inc sac by pulling the head.
- •Usually the entrails will come out by pulling the head but you should also inspect if there are still entrails inside the body of the squid.
- •Remove also the beak on the head and the soft transparent squid bone.
- •Wash out the remaining entrails and ink (just in case the ink sac spilled) in running water and drain.
- •Marinate the squid in soy sauce, sugar or 7-up, peppercorns and kalamansi juice.
- •Marinate at least half a day and place inside a refrigerator.
- •Prepare the stuffing by tossing together the chopped tomatoes and onions, ginger, patis and granulated seasoning.
- •Drain the marinated squid and stuff it with the tomato-onion mixture.
- •Then insert the head in the squid body and secure with a toothpick.
- •Grill the squid over live charcoal and baste it with the marinade with a mixture of 2 Tbsp cooking oil.
- •Cook it at least 6 minutes on each side or until the squid is cooked but don’t overcook.
- •Squid have a tendency to become hard and rubbery. When done slice crosswise and serve with dipping sauce.
- •For the dipping sauce, combine soy sauce, red chili pepper, garlic and calamansi juice.
