Mực một nắng, a delicacy in Vietnam, is made with fresh squid, typically caught by fishermen from the Phan Thiet region. The squid is cleaned and sun-dried for just one day, a process that preserves its natural sweetness and characteristic chewiness.
While it can be prepared in various ways, grilling over charcoal is considered the best method to enjoy mực một nắng. Taste Atlas, a renowned food platform, recommends adjusting the grill heat to avoid overcooking or undercooking the squid. They suggest serving it with a dip of chili fish sauce or chili paste, paired with a cold beer.
This delicious grilled squid is just one of the many unique dishes that Vietnam has to offer. Taste Atlas, founded in 2015, is a valuable resource for discovering traditional foods and drinks from around the world, with rankings based on expert and critic reviews.
