    1. It doesn't take time when cooking, but when you marinate, it needs several hours for the best flavour. But the time to wait that is not waste.

    1. Just try, squid is better than beef, pork or chicken because it's from nature. Meanwhile there is antibiotic excess in farm meat you eat everyday.

    1. Actually it is easy, The easiest way is just keep it roar, soak in rice liquor (>30% Vol), and enjoy it with white rice.If you can't eat like this, you can steam it like my recipe.

    1. Maybe in your place, people say about French or Italian cuisines much more. In Vietnam, especially in Hanoi - you will be lost in the most diverse cuisine of the world.

    1. I'm not sure about bean and beer because I am not interested in bean much. Some kinds of meat and seafood are more suitable with beer than bean.
