Squid is marinated in wine and fish sauce to both tenderize it and add flavor, and is then decorated with carved cucumber, carrot and tomato.

Mix together all the marinade ingredients, then add the squid and marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat a large skillet, add the oil and saute the squid on medium-high heat until all the squid curls.
Garnish with the ingredients listed above, or with any decoratively carved vegetables, and serve.
