This page emphasizes: "Squid dried in the sun is a type of fresh squid, usually cuttlefish or squid, caught by fishermen from the waters of Phan Thiet. After cleaning, the squid is dried for only 1 day under the harsh sunlight. This process helps the squid retain its freshness, natural sweetness and characteristic toughness."

Although there are many ways to prepare it, dried squid is said to be best when grilled over charcoal.

"When grilling, you need to adjust the temperature appropriately. If the temperature is too high, the squid will not cook evenly, the outside will burn easily but the inside will still be raw. The grilled squid is cut into small, bite-sized pieces and served with chili fish sauce or chili sauce," Taste Atlas said, suggesting that diners not forget to enjoy this dish with a cold glass of beer.
