For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality squid. Smaller squid are ideal as they tend to be more tender. Adjust the amount of vinegar and soy sauce to your preference, balancing the tanginess and savory notes. Do not overcook the squid, as it can become rubbery. The cooking time may vary depending on the size and freshness of the squid. Serve hot with steamed rice for a complete and satisfying Filipino meal.
