Method
Step 1
Combine the squid, salad dressing and half the ginger in a large bowl. Place in the fridge for 2-3 hours to develop the flavours.
Step 2
Drain squid mixture, reserving the marinade. Heat the oil in a wok or large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add half the squid and half the spring onion. Stir-fry for 2 mins or until squid is just cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining squid and spring onion. Add reserved marinade to wok or pan and bring to the boil. Cook for 1 min. Return the squid mixture and combine.
Step 3
Divide the rice and squid mixture among serving bowls. Top with chilli, if using, sesame seeds, coriander and remaining ginger.
